Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Probolinggo shrank from about 4,720 hectares to 4,080 hectares, a net loss of about 634 hectares (−13%). New forest grew on about 70 hectares, but 705 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 80 (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 Probolinggo been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Probolinggo's daily AQI at 82 on average, from 76 on Nov 8 to an hourly peak of 129 on Nov 10. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Probolinggo'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 Probolinggo lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Probolinggo has lost about 30 hectares of forest (about 41 football pitches): under 1% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (66%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for towns and roads. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Probolinggo shrank from about 4,720 hectares to 4,080 hectares, a net loss of about 634 hectares (−13%). New forest grew on about 70 hectares, but 705 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Probolinggo?
Probolinggo has an estimated 68,144 trees across the 12.51 km² of land measured — 21.8% tree cover, 8 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Probolinggo need?
Probolinggo needs roughly 25,632 more trees to close a 8-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 563.9 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Probolinggo'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 Probolinggo; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
