According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is the province most affected by forest and land fires (karhutla) in the first half of this year.

From January to July 2023, the area affected by karhutla in NTT reached 28,718 hectares (ha), equivalent to 31% of the national total of 90,405 ha.

Below is a list of the 10 provinces with the largest karhutla areas from January to July 2023:

1. East Nusa Tenggara: 28,718 ha
2. West Kalimantan: 12,537 ha
3. West Nusa Tenggara: 9,662 ha
4. South Kalimantan: 7,483 ha
5. East Java: 7,076 ha
6. Lampung: 2,992 ha
7. Central Kalimantan: 2,948 ha
8. Southeast Sulawesi: 2,848 ha
9. Maluku: 2,765 ha
10. Riau: 2,220 ha

According to the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency (BRGM), forest and land fires this year have the potential to increase due to the El Niño weather phenomenon.

"In Indonesia, in general, the impact of El Niño is dry conditions and reduced rainfall, increasing the potential for forest and land fires," said BRGM on its official website (May 2023).

"The potential for forest and land fires will increase, especially in peatland ecosystems, where peat domes will dry out due to the dry season," it continued.

To anticipate this, BRGM stated that it has collaborated with KLHK, the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), and the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) to wet peatlands using weather modification technology.

The Indonesian National Police (Polri) is also involved in anticipating this problem, by conducting socialization on the prohibition of land burning and patrols in various regions.
