The West Kalimantan Provincial Government is working with the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) to increase cloud seeding operations in an attempt to suppress the increasing number of wildfires affecting the region. This initiative responds to worsening air quality and heightened fire risks across West Kalimantan. Authorities are focusing on areas experiencing significant fire hotspots, utilizing aircraft to disperse cloud-seeding chemicals. The goal is to induce rainfall and dampen dry vegetation, reducing the potential for further blazes. BNPB is providing support in terms of technology and personnel for the operation. Local communities are being urged to remain vigilant and avoid activities that could trigger fires. The collaborative effort aims to mitigate the environmental and health impacts of the widespread wildfires in West Kalimantan.
