The image shows major changes in forest development after
the addition of centralized urban land. The changes in reflectance of the
vegetation, within a 4-month period, shows large residential development had
taken place. Forested lands are seen as natural beauty in Pakistan. In turn, real

societies have caused massive deforestation in just a few months. Almost 8km^2
of forested land was demolished by these new residential land coverages.
