Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Serilingampalle grew from about 1,080 hectares to 1,480 hectares, a net gain of about 404 hectares (+37%). New forest grew on about 414 hectares, while 11 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.

Questions about Serilingampalle
What is the air quality (AQI) in Serilingampalle right now?
The latest reading for Serilingampalle shows an AQI of 112 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), measured Nov 11, 20:00 local time by 5 ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ (the median of their readings; the nearest is ICRISAT Patancheru, Hyderabad - TSPCB, 3.7 km away). The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Serilingampalle today?
At AQI 112 (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 Serilingampalle been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Serilingampalle's daily AQI at 82 on average, from 38 on Nov 4 to an hourly peak of 138 on Nov 7. On 3 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Serilingampalle'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 Serilingampalle lost since 2001?
