受“刀耕火种”清理土地及超级厄尔尼诺现象影响,印度尼西亚加里曼丹等地爆发大规模森林和泥炭地火灾,引发跨境霾害威胁马来西亚和新加坡等国 1。仅7月,印尼全国就有近9.4万公顷(23.2万英亩)土地被烧毁 1。区域空气质量严重恶化,吉隆坡成为IQAir监测的全球污染最严重城市,其次为雅加达 1。在印尼西加里曼丹,自7月以来每周约5000人因呼吸道症状急诊,而今年上半年该数字为每周500人 1。
印尼总统普拉博沃已下令撤销涉嫌主导清地企业的营业执照 1。同时,印尼警方逮捕了72名涉嫌在婆罗洲和苏门答腊纵火的嫌疑人 1。在马来西亚,沙捞越近600所学校因高温干旱关闭 1。超级厄尔尼诺预计9月达到峰值,雨季可能要到11月才来临 1。2015年厄尔尼诺年,超600万英亩土地被烧毁 1。
Massive forest and peatland fires, driven by slash-and-burn land clearing and a super El Niño, have erupted across Indonesia's Kalimantan and other regions, triggering transboundary haze that threatens neighboring countries like Malaysia and Singapore 1. The severe air pollution has taken a heavy toll on public health, with approximately 5,000 people in West Kalimantan seeking emergency treatment for respiratory symptoms each week since July, a sharp increase from the 500 weekly cases recorded in the first half of the year 1. In response to the crisis, Indonesian President Prabowo has ordered the revocation of business licenses for companies suspected of orchestrating the land-clearing fires 1. Additionally, police have arrested 72 suspects accused of arson in Borneo and Sumatra 1.
The environmental disaster has caused widespread disruption across the region, with nearly 600 schools in the Malaysian state of Sarawak closing due to extreme heat and drought 1. Air quality has deteriorated severely, making Kuala Lumpur the most polluted city globally according to IQAir monitoring, followed by Jakarta 1. The situation is expected to persist as the super El Niño is projected to peak in September, and the rainy season may not arrive until November 1. In July alone, nearly 94,000 hectares (232,000 acres) of land were scorched nationwide in Indonesia 1. For context, during the El Niño year of 2015, more than 6 million acres of land were burned 1.
