Beban Kesehatan Tembus Rp120 Triliun, PFI Serukan Penanganan Sistemik Karhutla di Indonesia
Agus Sari, CEO of The Landscape Group and a member of the Perhimpunan Filantropi Indonesia expert council, is quoted on the BMKG super El Niño warning that went unheeded: an early warning system should be a full mitigation and response protocol from the centre down to the village, not an announcement — and the El Niño effect has not yet peaked.
The article draws on the Landscape Advisory fact sheet released 21 August 2026 for the role of peat: of the weekly hotspot trace, about 81,759 hectares fell on peatland, with 1.66 percent of peat burning in a single week against 0.71 percent of mineral soil — roughly 2.3 times the rate, and the source of most of the emissions.
