How much forest has Shahuwadi lost?
Almost no forest has been lost around Shahuwadi since 2001: less than 1 hectare of the 533 hectares there in 2000.

Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 8,620 ha
- Forest in 2020
- 8,630 ha
- Overall change
- +17 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Shahuwadi stayed about the same size, at about 8,630 hectares: new forest grew on about 69 hectares, and about 53 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 Shahuwadi
What is the air quality (AQI) in Shahuwadi right now?
The latest reading for Shahuwadi shows an AQI of 108 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), observed Nov 11, 02:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 5 ground-station cities within 185 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 Shahuwadi today?
At AQI 108 (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 Shahuwadi been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Shahuwadi's daily AQI at 91 on average, from 71 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 151 on Nov 7. On 2 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Shahuwadi'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 Shahuwadi lost since 2001?
Almost no forest has been lost around Shahuwadi since 2001: less than 1 hectare of the 533 hectares there in 2000. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Shahuwadi stayed about the same size, at about 8,630 hectares: new forest grew on about 69 hectares, and about 53 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Shahuwadi?
Shahuwadi has an estimated 114,982 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 36.6% tree cover, already past the 35% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Shahuwadi need?
Shahuwadi has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.
How are Shahuwadi'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 Yelane; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
