BPBD Kotawaringin Barat tangani karhutla 113,5 hektare

Why This Matters

The recent efforts by BPBD Kotawaringin Barat to tackle a 113.5-hectare karhutla (haze) in Kalimantan Tengah highlight the ongoing environmental challenges faced by Indonesia's tropical regions. This incident underscores the need for effective disaster management and mitigation strategies to protect both human health and the environment. The scale of this karhutla also underscores the importance of coordinated efforts between local authorities and national agencies to address such crises.
