Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni has announced intensified efforts to combat forest and land fires in South Kalimantan. The primary strategy involves enhancing peatland wetting to prevent the dry organic soil from igniting. Government teams are currently deploying water pumps and creating canals to maintain moisture levels in critical areas. These measures are designed to mitigate the risk of haze and protect local biodiversity. The ministry is also collaborating with regional authorities to monitor hotspots in real-time. Public awareness campaigns are being conducted to discourage illegal land clearing through burning. By prioritizing peatland restoration, the government aims to reduce the recurrence of seasonal fire disasters.
