Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Pare shrank from about 12,100 hectares to 11,100 hectares, a net loss of about 970 hectares (−8%). New forest grew on about 315 hectares, but 1,290 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.

Is it safe to exercise outside in Pare today?
At AQI 61 (Moderate): fine for most people; unusually sensitive people should take long or hard exercise easier. Windows: fine to open; close them if you are sensitive to pollution. Masks: not needed for most people. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Pare been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Pare's daily AQI at 125 on average, from 100 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 197 on Nov 11. On 6 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Pare's AQI the same as Indonesia's ISPU?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. Indonesia's official index is the ISPU (Indeks Standar Pencemar Udara), published by the environment ministry from its own monitoring stations. Its bands are 0–50 Baik (good), 51–100 Sedang (moderate), 101–200 Tidak Sehat (unhealthy), 201–300 Sangat Tidak Sehat (very unhealthy) and over 300 Berbahaya (hazardous). The two indexes use different breakpoints and averaging times, so the same air can score differently on each.
How much forest has the area around Pare lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Pare has lost about 678 hectares of forest (about 950 football pitches): 5.6% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (96%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for farms, pasture and plantations. Forest loss is slowing down: about 24 hectares a year in 2021–2025, down from 58 hectares a year in 2016–2020. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Pare shrank from about 12,100 hectares to 11,100 hectares, a net loss of about 970 hectares (−8%). New forest grew on about 315 hectares, but 1,290 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Pare?
Pare has an estimated 86,394 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 27.5% tree cover, 2 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Pare need?
Pare needs roughly 7,854 more trees to close a 2-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 172.8 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Pare'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 Kecamatan Pare; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
