How much forest has Pāli lost?

There was almost no forest around Pāli in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

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.

Frequently asked

Questions about Pāli

What is the air quality (AQI) in Pāli right now?

The latest reading for Pāli shows an AQI of 177 (Unhealthy), measured Nov 11, 21:45 local time by the Indira Colony Vistar, Pali - RSPCB ground monitoring station, 1.7 km away, via OpenAQ. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.

Is it safe to exercise outside in Pāli today?

At AQI 177 (Unhealthy): everyone should cut down long or hard exercise; sensitive groups should avoid it. Windows: keep them closed. Masks: wear an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.

What has the air quality in Pāli been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Pāli's daily AQI at 68 on average, from 63 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 80 on Nov 7. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Is Pāli's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?

No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.

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

There was almost no forest around Pāli in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

What is the tree count in Pāli?

Pāli has an estimated 34,693 trees across the 12.39 km² of land measured — 11.2% tree cover, 29 percentage points short of the 40% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Pāli need?

Pāli needs roughly 89,211 more trees to close a 29-point shortfall against its 40% tree-cover target — about 1,963 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Pāli's air quality and tree cover measured?

Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Nadi Mohalla, via OpenAQ; the 7-day trend is the Open-Meteo / CAMS model's estimate. 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 Nadi Mohalla; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
