How much forest has Pavlodar lost?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Pavlodar has lost about 34 hectares of forest (about 47 football pitches): 1.9% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it was lost to storms, floods and other natural causes, so much of it can grow back. Almost none of it was deforestation, meaning forest cleared for good.

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Pavlodar stayed about the same size, at about 384 hectares: new forest grew on about 1 hectare, and about under 1 hectare was 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.
