Summary
On September 12, 2026, wildfires in Central Kalimantan began burning over 202,000 hectares of land, endangering local orangutan populations and prompting rescue operations for animals affected by the flames. The fires have generated toxic haze and smoke, which have caused a health crisis in neighboring countries. While rescuers have evacuated numerous animals, including a female orangutan named Novita who was treated for burns, the environmental impact remains severe as the fires continue to threaten habitats.
