Deforestation · 2001–2025
How much forest has Xindi lost?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Xindi has lost about 7 hectares of forest (about 10 football pitches): 6.7% of the forest it had in 2000. The biggest cause was towns and roads (4.4%). Almost none of it was deforestation, meaning forest cleared for good.

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Xindi grew from about 135 hectares to 174 hectares, a net gain of about 39 hectares (+29%). New forest grew on about 46 hectares, while 6 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.

What is the tree count in Xindi?
Xindi has an estimated 19,955 trees across the 9.98 km² of land measured — 8.0% tree cover, 22 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Xindi need?
Xindi needs roughly 54,877 more trees to close a 22-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,207 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Xindi'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 Honghu; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
