How much forest has Suez lost?
There was almost no forest around Suez 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.

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 is the tree count in Suez?

How many more trees does Suez need?
Suez needs roughly 93,619 more trees to close a 30-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 2,060 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Suez'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 Al Arbaeen; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
