Indonesia forest fires burn 235K acres
The increasing occurrence of the El Niño climate phenomenon in Indonesia has led to a rise in forest fires, destroying approximately 235,000 acres in July alone—half of the damages recorded in the first half of the year. According to the Ministry of Forestry, the area affected by fires from January to July reached around 499,000 acres, with expectations that the phenomenon will persist until early 2027, with peak fires occurring between August and September. Although the damage has increased compared to previous years, the affected areas are still less than the figures seen in 2015, when about 1.4 million acres were burned.
