What is the tree count in Ondjiva?

Ondjiva has an estimated 9,983 trees across the 12.48 km² of land measured — 3.2% tree cover, 27 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Ondjiva need?

Ondjiva needs roughly 83,605 more trees to close a 27-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,839 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

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