Summary
Indonesia is experiencing its worst wildfires crisis in years, intensified by the El Niño weather phenomenon. The crisis has spread across Sumatra and Borneo islands, affecting rubber growers in South Sumatra province. The fires have caused significant economic damage, with some growers reporting losses of hundreds of millions of rupiah. The crisis has also led to health advisories in neighboring countries due to the smoke crossing borders. Local communities are using traditional methods to combat the fires, but the scale of the threat is reminiscent of the 2015 Southeast Asian wildfire catastrophe.
