The Malicious Intent of Forest and Land Fire Companies: Economic Profit at the Cost of the Environment - Gakkum Podcast
Description: In this special episode, we commemorate World Environment Day (June 5, 2024), focusing on the ongoing issue of forest and land fires (karhutla). This day reminds us to tackle environmental challenges like these, which result in not just the destruction of trees but also the loss of habitats for countless species. Forest fires can be prevented with awareness and real actions.
In this episode, we are joined by Bapak Bambang Hero, a forensic fire specialist at the Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), and a professor in the field of Forest Protection. He shares his experiences dealing with forest fire cases and the challenges faced in managing these disasters. Bapak Hero discusses how some companies have malicious intentions, prioritizing economic gains over environmental and social well-being.

1st Fire International Conference: Strengthening Collaboration on Global Forest and Land Fire Management
Description: The Indonesian Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) has forecasted that the El-Nino phenomenon will intensify in the second semester of 2023, significantly reducing rainfall and increasing the vulnerability of forest and land areas to fire, especially in peatland regions.
To address these challenges, the Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, in collaboration with the French Embassy, is organizing the 1st Fire International Conference with the theme: “Strengthening Collaboration on Global Forest and Land Fire Management.”
The conference aims to share insights and experiences from various global stakeholders on forest and land fire prevention and how to mitigate the impacts of El-Nino. Distinguished speakers will join from Indonesia, France, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, and Thailand.

Public Communication of Fire and Emissions Fact Sheet
Public Communication of Fire and Emissions Fact Sheet
“Forest and Land Fire Control during the 2022 Heat Wave”
Forest and land fires are a major driver of global climate change. To help the public better understand the connection between fires, emissions, and climate crisis mitigation efforts, Forest Digest has released a fact sheet that explores the complex relationship between forest and land fires and emissions.
To widely disseminate the fact sheet, a webinar titled “Public Communication of Fire and Emissions Fact Sheet” is being organized. This event aims to inform national and international audiences on the realities of forest and land fires and how they are linked to broader climate and environmental challenges.
