Overall change

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Sungai Penuh shrank from about 20,300 hectares to 19,200 hectares, a net loss of about 1,080 hectares (−5.3%). New forest grew on about 213 hectares, but 1,290 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 Sungai Penuh

What is the air quality (AQI) in Sungai Penuh right now?

The latest reading for Sungai Penuh shows an AQI of 37 (Good), observed Nov 10, 16:00 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

Is it safe to exercise outside in Sungai Penuh today?

At AQI 37 (Good): a good day to be active outside. Windows: open them to air the house. Masks: not needed. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.

What has the air quality in Sungai Penuh been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Sungai Penuh's daily AQI at 57 on average, from 43 on Nov 6 to an hourly peak of 82 on Nov 4. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Is Sungai Penuh's AQI the same as Indonesia's ISPU?

No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. Indonesia's official index is the ISPU (Indeks Standar Pencemar Udara), published by the environment ministry from its own monitoring stations. Its bands are 0–50 Baik (good), 51–100 Sedang (moderate), 101–200 Tidak Sehat (unhealthy), 201–300 Sangat Tidak Sehat (very unhealthy) and over 300 Berbahaya (hazardous). The two indexes use different breakpoints and averaging times, so the same air can score differently on each.

How much forest has the area around Sungai Penuh lost since 2001?

Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Sungai Penuh has lost about 3,950 hectares of forest (about 5,500 football pitches): 16% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (60%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for farms, pasture and plantations. Forest loss has stayed about the same: about 309 hectares a year in 2021–2025, against 389 hectares a year in 2016–2020. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Sungai Penuh shrank from about 20,300 hectares to 19,200 hectares, a net loss of about 1,080 hectares (−5.3%). New forest grew on about 213 hectares, but 1,290 hectares were lost.

What is the tree count in Sungai Penuh?

Sungai Penuh has an estimated 64,717 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 20.6% tree cover, 9 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Sungai Penuh need?

Sungai Penuh needs roughly 29,531 more trees to close a 9-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 649.7 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Sungai Penuh'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 Sungai Penuh; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
