How much forest has Natore lost?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Natore has lost about 3 hectares of forest (about 5 football pitches): 2.8% of the forest it had in 2000. The satellites couldn't tell what caused most of it. Almost none of it was deforestation, meaning forest cleared for good.

Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000

- Overall change
- +574 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Natore grew from about 8,140 hectares to 8,710 hectares, a net gain of about 574 hectares (+7.1%). New forest grew on about 585 hectares, while 11 hectares were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

What is the tree count in Natore?
Natore has an estimated 163,811 trees across the 12.21 km² of land measured — 53.7% tree cover, already past the 40% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Natore need?
Natore has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.
How are Natore's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Chowdhury Para; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
