Indonesia battles wildfire in national park
Indonesia is working to control a fire at the Probolo National Park on Java Island, which has consumed more than 127 hectares of land due to severe drought and the effects of the El Niño phenomenon. The fire, which started on Monday in a mountainous and difficult-to-reach area, has led to the closure of the region to visitors. Authorities are using two helicopters in firefighting efforts that heavily depend on wind conditions. It is worth noting that forest fires have increased this year, burning over 107,000 hectares between January and June—a doubling of the area affected by fires in 2023. This surge is attributed to the impacts of El Niño, which creates dry conditions and intensifies wildfires worldwide.
