- Overall change
- +2,010 acres (812 ha)more forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Pembroke Pines grew from about 14,100 acres (5,690 hectares) to 16,100 acres (6,500 hectares), a net gain of about 2,010 acres (812 hectares) (+14%). New forest grew on about 2,400 acres (970 hectares), while 390 acres (158 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.
