How much forest has Yamuna Nagar lost?
There was very little forest around Yamuna Nagar in 2000, about 46 hectares, and about 13 hectares of it has been lost since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.
2017: satellite photo from June 2017 of a 5 × 5 km area in the city center.
The worst year was 2005, when about 3 hectares of forest were lost.

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Yamuna Nagar grew from about 518 hectares to 660 hectares, a net gain of about 142 hectares (+27%). New forest grew on about 169 hectares, while 27 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 Yamuna Nagar
What is the air quality (AQI) in Yamuna Nagar right now?
The latest reading for Yamuna Nagar shows an AQI of 193 (Unhealthy), measured Nov 11, 20:15 local time by the Gobind Pura, Yamuna Nagar - HSPCB ground monitoring station, 2.3 km away, via OpenAQ. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Yamuna Nagar today?
At AQI 193 (Unhealthy): everyone should cut down long or hard exercise; sensitive groups should avoid it. Windows: keep them closed. Masks: wear an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Yamuna Nagar been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Yamuna Nagar's daily AQI at 165 on average, from 140 on Nov 7 to an hourly peak of 218 on Nov 10. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Yamuna Nagar'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 Yamuna Nagar lost since 2001?
There was very little forest around Yamuna Nagar in 2000, about 46 hectares, and about 13 hectares of it has been lost since.

What is the tree count in Yamuna Nagar?
Yamuna Nagar has an estimated 24,862 trees across the 12.28 km² of land measured — 8.1% tree cover, 32 percentage points short of the 40% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Yamuna Nagar need?
Yamuna Nagar needs roughly 97,912 more trees to close a 32-point shortfall against its 40% tree-cover target — about 2,154 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Yamuna Nagar's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Prem Nagar, via OpenAQ; the 7-day trend is the Open-Meteo / CAMS model's estimate. 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 Prem Nagar; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
