Indonesia is battling a severe wildfire crisis, with nearly 95,000 hectares burned in July alone. The strong El Niño phenomenon is drying forests and peatlands across the archipelago, allowing fires to spread rapidly. Companies in the palm oil and paper industries are accused of setting fires for land grabbing, while President Prabowo Subianto has proposed cloud seeding as a solution. Experts warn that reducing these fires will be challenging as El Niño peaks.
