Laksamana.Net – Coinciding with the outbreak of new fires around Pontianak in West Kalimantan and Pekanbaru, Riau, a new European Commission-funded report argues better management of peat lands will help eliminate the major cause of smoke and haze in Indonesia. Author of the report, Dr. Luca Tacconi of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), says the fires are a stark reminder that governments, industry and the broader community are yet to fully address the underlying causes of smoke haze in Indonesia.
