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

Frequently asked
Questions about Tonk
What is the air quality (AQI) in Tonk right now?
The latest reading for Tonk shows an AQI of 229 (Very unhealthy), observed Nov 11, 06:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 3 ground-station cities within 85 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Health alert — everyone should avoid long outdoor exertion.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Tonk today?
At AQI 229 (Very unhealthy): everyone should avoid long or hard exercise outdoors; sensitive groups, all outdoor exertion. Windows: keep them closed. Masks: wear an N95 if you go out. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Tonk been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Tonk's daily AQI at 104 on average, from 76 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 172 on Nov 11. On 3 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Tonk'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 Tonk lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Tonk 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.
What is the tree count in Tonk?
Tonk has an estimated 47,704 trees across the 12.56 km² of land measured — 15.2% tree cover, 30 percentage points short of the 45% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Tonk need?
Tonk needs roughly 93,526 more trees to close a 30-point shortfall against its 45% tree-cover target — about 2,058 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Tonk'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 Saadat Ganj; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
