Indonesians demand government take stronger action as toxic wildfire haze chokes millions

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Central Kalimantan governor’s office in Indonesia on October 19, demanding stronger government action over prolonged wildfires that have burned more than 19,000 km² this year. As Indonesia battles its worst wildfire season in a decade, air pollution levels have plunged to hazardous levels in parts of Central Kalimantan. The haze has been linked to hundreds of thousands of respiratory illnesses in Indonesia and has drifted across borders into neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia.
