Indonesia

Indonesia appears in Burning questions: a more fire-prone world as a wildfire-risk country to watch. Oliver Morton links its risk to deliberately set slash-and-burn fires, biofuel demand, and El Nino-driven drying in Southeast Asia.

The source uses Indonesia to show why Landscape Fire Prevention is not only a firefighting question. Agricultural incentives, commodity demand, enforcement, and climate cycles can create conditions where local land-clearing fires become part of a wider Extreme Wildfire and Wildfire Smoke Health Burden problem.
