Riau peatland fires
Riau, Sumatra, Indonesia · 0.60°, 101.80° · Wildfires
Drained peat swamps burn for weeks each dry season, blanketing Southeast Asia in haze.
Riau's peat swamps have been drained for pulpwood and oil palm, turning waterlogged carbon into tinder. Fires set to clear land smoulder underground for weeks, releasing enormous amounts of CO2 and a toxic haze that has closed schools and airports in Singapore and Malaysia. Rewetting peatland is the key fix.
