Indonesia targets two provinces in war on forest fires

Indonesia has made Central Kalimantan and South Sumatra its top priorities for fighting forest and land fires, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) announced. The government is focusing its fire mitigation efforts on the two provinces, which are among the country's most fire-prone regions. Forest and land fires are a recurring problem in Indonesia, often producing thick haze that affects public health and air travel across Southeast Asia.
