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.

How much forest has the area around Naxçıvan lost since 2001?

What is the tree count in Naxçıvan?

Naxçıvan has an estimated 24,190 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 7.7% tree cover, 22 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Naxçıvan need?

Naxçıvan needs roughly 70,058 more trees to close a 22-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,541 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Naxçıvan'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 Nakhchivan; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
