- −861 haless forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Parung shrank from about 18,200 hectares to 17,300 hectares, a net loss of about 861 hectares (−4.7%). New forest grew on about 264 hectares, but 1,120 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.

At AQI 195 (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 Parung been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Parung's daily AQI at 172 on average, from 157 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 249 on Nov 7. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Parung'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 Parung lost since 2001?
