How much forest has Rāj-Nāndgaon lost?
There was almost no forest around Rāj-Nāndgaon in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 292 ha
- Forest in 2020
- 354 ha
- Overall change
- +62 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Rāj-Nāndgaon grew from about 292 hectares to 354 hectares, a net gain of about 62 hectares (+21%). New forest grew on about 79 hectares, while 17 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.

Frequently asked
Questions about Rāj-Nāndgaon
What is the air quality (AQI) in Rāj-Nāndgaon right now?
The latest reading for Rāj-Nāndgaon shows an AQI of 107 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), observed Nov 11, 03:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 2 ground-station cities within 45 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Rāj-Nāndgaon today?
At AQI 107 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups): children, older adults and people with asthma or heart disease should cut down long or hard exercise. Windows: close them to keep the outside air out. Masks: sensitive groups: an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Rāj-Nāndgaon been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Rāj-Nāndgaon's daily AQI at 175 on average, from 163 on Nov 7 to an hourly peak of 211 on Nov 8. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Rāj-Nāndgaon's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.
How much forest has the area around Rāj-Nāndgaon lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Rāj-Nāndgaon in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Rāj-Nāndgaon grew from about 292 hectares to 354 hectares, a net gain of about 62 hectares (+21%). New forest grew on about 79 hectares, while 17 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Rāj-Nāndgaon?
Rāj-Nāndgaon has an estimated 64,172 trees across the 12.05 km² of land measured — 21.3% tree cover, 14 percentage points short of the 35% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Rāj-Nāndgaon need?
Rāj-Nāndgaon needs roughly 41,275 more trees to close a 14-point shortfall against its 35% tree-cover target — about 908.0 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Rāj-Nāndgaon'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 Baldeo Bagh; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
