Indonesia intensifies forest fire response to curb transboundary haze

Indonesia is increasing its efforts to combat forest and land fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan to prevent the spread of smoke across national borders. The Environment Ministry reported that large-scale firefighting operations are underway using both ground and aerial methods, including water bombing by helicopters and aircraft, as well as weather modification techniques. Thousands of personnel from multiple agencies are on standby at high-risk areas. The government has also enhanced regional monitoring to track wind patterns and smoke movement, aiming to avoid a transboundary haze crisis. This initiative follows a ministerial meeting and technical working group on transboundary haze pollution held in Bali earlier this year. The goal is to safeguard public health and the environment by detecting and mitigating the potential spread of smoke early.
