The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) has reported the detection of 5,019 hotspots across the country, serving as indicators of forest and land fires. This figure represents the most rapid increase in such activity recorded since the 2015 El Nino event.
The surge in hotspots highlights a significant escalation in fire-related environmental concerns. By comparing current data to the 2015 period, which was marked by severe haze and widespread land destruction, the agency underscores the intensity of the current trend in forest and land fire development.
