Cabinet Secretary: Prabowo asks Babinsa to educate residents about the dangers of forest fires

President Prabowo Subianto has instructed Babinsa, the Indonesian military's village-level non-commissioned officers, to conduct educational outreach regarding the dangers of forest burning. The directive was conveyed by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya as part of a government effort to address environmental risks associated with land clearing practices.

By utilizing the existing Babinsa network, the administration aims to engage local communities directly to mitigate the prevalence of forest fires. This initiative reflects a strategic focus on leveraging military personnel to disseminate government policy and safety information at the grassroots level.
