Indonesia Faces Severe Wildfires Worsened by El Niño

Indonesia is currently grappling with its most severe wildfires in over ten years. These fires have been intensified by the effects of El Niño. Many of these fires have been intentionally ignited to clear land for agricultural purposes, such as palm oil plantations.

The impact of these fires is profound. Over 12,000 schools have shut down across the country due to the harmful haze. This has disrupted education for countless students.

Nathaniel Undas, who serves as a school principal and also works as a photographer, has been actively documenting the situation. He shares images and updates on social media, bringing attention to the ongoing crisis.
