Deforestation · 2001–2025

How much forest has Victoria lost?

There was almost no forest around Victoria 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.

Questions about Victoria

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

The latest reading for Victoria shows an AQI of 9 (Good), observed Nov 11, 00:00 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 Victoria today?

At AQI 9 (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 Victoria been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Victoria's daily AQI at 25 on average, from 9 on Nov 11 to an hourly peak of 53 on Nov 6. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.

How much forest has the area around Victoria lost since 2001?

There was almost no forest around Victoria 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 Victoria?

Victoria has an estimated 140,704 trees across the 9.48 km² of land measured — 59.4% tree cover, already past the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Victoria need?

Victoria has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.

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