How much forest has Sāveh lost?

There was almost no forest around Sāveh 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.

Overall change
+41 hamore forest than in 2000

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Sāveh grew from about 66 hectares to 107 hectares, a net gain of about 41 hectares. New forest grew on about 41 hectares, while 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.

What has the air quality in Sāveh been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Sāveh's daily AQI at 53 on average, from 34 on Nov 10 to an hourly peak of 76 on Nov 5. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.

How much forest has the area around Sāveh lost since 2001?

There was almost no forest around Sāveh 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 Sāveh grew from about 66 hectares to 107 hectares, a net gain of about 41 hectares. New forest grew on about 41 hectares, while under 1 hectare was lost.

What is the tree count in Sāveh?

Sāveh has an estimated 14,451 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 4.6% tree cover, 25 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Sāveh need?

Sāveh needs roughly 79,796 more trees to close a 25-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,756 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Sāveh'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 Saveh; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
