Fires at Papua food estate worsen haze pollution, raise environmental concerns巴布亚粮食种植园火灾加剧雾霾污染，引发环境担忧
JAKARTA; Thick haze from forest and land fires has blanketed South Papua and the surrounding region, with pollution allegedly exacerbated by land clearing for food estate projects in the province, as the country's easternmost island remains excluded from firefighting priorities.
Flames engulf parts of a 58-kilometer stretch of the Merauke food estate corridor on Aug. 12 in Merauke regency, South Papua, extending from near Wanam village in Ilwayab district to Muting district. Despite suffering one of Indonesia’s largest burn scars, Papua remains excluded from areas prioritized for firefighting operations amid the regional haze crisis. - Pusaka Bentala Rakyat/Ambrosius Mulait/Jakarta Post
JAKARTA; Thick haze from forest and land fires has blanketed South Papua and the surrounding region, with pollution allegedly exacerbated by land clearing for food estate projects in the province, as the country’s easternmost island remains excluded from firefighting priorities.
The Merauke estate occupies 2.3 million hectares of land in the province, nearly twice the size of Greater Tokyo. It is a national strategic project (PSN) established for the development of rice, sugarcane and other plantations, as well as logistical hubs.
