Researchers from the Central University ofRajasthan(CURaj) studied satellite images and land-use maps between 1975 and 2019 to come up with estimates. Their paper  titled Assessment of Land-Use Dynamics of the Aravalli Range  was published in the journal Science Earth Informatics this January.<\/p>\n<p>Data analysed by researchers showed that 5772.7 sqkm (7.6%) of the Aravali ranges was flattened in the 44-year period they studied. Of this, nearly 5% (3,676 sqkm) of the hills was converted into barren land and another 776.8 sqkm (around 1%) into settlements. The projected loss by 2059 of total Aravali area is 16,360 sqkm, according to the report.<br \/> In this time period, the <a href=\"https:\/\/exam.pscnotes.com\/average\">Average<\/a> deforestation rate was 0.57% annually, the studys lead researcher Laxmi Kant Sharma told TOI.
