Indonesia's fires spread across 1.9M hectares
The data indicates that forest fires in Indonesia burned over 1.9 million hectares between January and September 2026, according to a satellite-based observatory. However, the government has not provided official figures on the affected areas since July, when it announced the destruction of 202,000 hectares. It is believed that the actual affected areas may be much larger due to the presence of small hotspots and changes in monitoring caused by dense haze, which reduces the accuracy of the data. Compared to the same period in 2019, the burned area has increased by 38%.
