OGAN ILIR, SOUTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA - SEPTEMBER 23: A firefighter stands and attempts to extinguish a wildfire on burned peatland and fields on September 23, 2023 in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra, Indonesia. At least six provinces in the country are battling ongoing forest fires as illegal blazes to clear land for agricultural plantation take control causing respiratory illnesses and biodiversity loss. The nation’s meteorology agency forecasted that Indonesia is likely to experience the most severe dry season since 2019 as the country enters the hottest day of this year’s El Nino-induced dry season.
