Borneo residents sue Indonesian government over forest fire haze
Original: kalimantan
Residents of Borneo, including communities in East Kalimantan, have taken the Indonesian government to court, alleging negligence in handling forest fires that have sent hazardous haze across the region. Desperate scenes have been reported as wildfires continue to rage, and neighbouring countries are pressing Jakarta to act as regional air quality worsens.
Why now: Indonesian wildfires and the resulting cross-border haze are intensifying, prompting legal action and regional pressure.
