Greenpeace Questions Indonesia's Peatland Fire Restoration Efforts
Original: Indonesia’s Peatland Fires: Why the Nightmare Won’t Stop | Greenpeace Questions Restoration
Indonesia's recurring peatland fires are back in focus, with Greenpeace questioning the effectiveness of official peatland restoration programmes. Peat fires release large amounts of carbon and produce hazardous haze that affects health across the region each dry season. The report argues that despite restoration spending, the root causes, including drained peatlands and land clearing, remain unresolved, so the annual cycle of fires and smoke continues.
Why now: New scrutiny of Indonesia's peatland restoration is drawing attention during fire season, when haze and emissions affect millions.
