\nForest fires and haze have become an annual problem for Indonesia. During the dry season, forest fires always occur, especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Haze covers the sky; causes problems for the transportation sector; reduces economic activities; and stimulates health problems. \nWhat do I mean my transboundary? \nDo you know where is this picture taken? \nOf course it is not taken in Indonesia. Actually it was taken in Malaysia. \n
\nThe term transboundary has only recently come into use for resource development and management planning. The term refers to the movement of physical and biological resources or of impacts associated with these resources, across political boundaries. For the most part, and certainly from the perspective of the Mekong River Commission, the boundary in question refers to international borders.

What is Transboundary Pollution?\nTransboundary pollution is the pollution that originates in one country but is able to cause damage in another country’s environment, by crossing borders through pathways like water or air. Pollution can be transported across hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. The incredible distances that pollution can spread means that it is not contained within the boundaries of any single nation. This is why it is called ‘Transboundary Pollution’. One of the problems with transboundary pollution is that can carry pollution away from a heavy emitter and deposit it onto a nation whose emissions are relatively low. Another problem with transboundary pollution relates to the quote above. Due to the fact that ‘All things connect’, the heavy pollution that is evident in the developed world also becomes evident in remote areas. For an example of how transboundary pollution becomes visible in a remote area like the Arctic, see the Arctic Haze fact sheet.\nwww.safewater.org\n

Forest fires and haze have become an annual problem for Indonesia. During the dry season, forest fires always occur, especially in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Haze covers the sky; causes problems for the transportation sector; reduces economic activities; and stimulates health problems. The problem has not only become a domestic affair but also affects Indonesia’s reputation in other countries. Singapore and Malaysia are two of the most adversely affected foreign countries due to the smog generated from the forest fires.\n
We might still remember how the Malaysian government sent hundreds of fire squads, called “Bomba”, to help Indonesia to fight forest fires in 1997. The forest fire tragedy that year was one of the worst forest fires in Indonesian history, in which the smog even reached Thailand and the Philippines. \nFrom October through November 1997, fires in Indonesia and the resulting haze made front-page news around the world as the haze spread as far the Philippines to the north, Sri Lanka to the west, and northern Australia to the south. Fires burned thousands of squares miles of rainforest, plantations, conversion forest, and scrubland in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, Bali, Lombock, and Sarawak of Malaysia.\n

Fires burned thousands of squares miles of rainforest, plantations, conversion forest, and scrubland in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, Bali, Lombock, and Sarawak of Malaysia.\n
Sulfides, nitrous oxides, and ash released by burning, combined with the industrial pollution and exhaust from cities, formed choking haze that raised pollution levels to previously unrecorded heights. The Air Pollution Index exceeded 800 (a day's exposure to an API of 200-300 is the equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes) in Kuching, Malaysia, and set record highs in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While over 200,000 were hospitalized with ailments including heart and respiratory disorders, severe nosebleeds, and eye irritation, there is greater concern for the long- term health effects on the more than 70 million people in six countries affected by the haze. Health officials worry that the smog produced by the fires may lead to an increase in heart, lung, brain, eye, and skin disorders over the next decade.\n

\nPeat is a brown, soil-like material characteristic of boggy, acid ground, consisting of partly decomposed vegetable matter. It is the first stage of transformation of plant matter into coal. \nLarge areas of organic wetland (peat) soils are currently drained for agriculture. This not only destroys the habitat of many species, but heavily trigger climate change. As a result of peat drainage, the organic carbon that was built up over thousands of years and is normally under water, is suddenly exposed to the air. It decomposes and turns into carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released into the atmosphere. Peat fires cause the same process and in addition create enormous clouds of smoke that cross international borders, such as happen every year in Southeast Asia.\nIn this picture, Peatland is drained to make way for the cultivation of oil palms in Central Kalimantan. Indonesia is home to the world’s largest peatland areas. Scientists have warned that peatland reclamation could increase the release of carbon emissions stored in its area, leading to the worsening of global warming.\n\nhttp://www.herinst.org/wingecarribee/peatlands/what.html\n\n
In Indonesia, fire serves as a cheap and fast method of land clearing. Traditionally, “slash and burn” agriculture has been practiced by farmers in many places in Indonesia for generations. A study conducted in West Kalimantan showed that the application of slash and burn agriculture, in combination with land rotation, is ecologically sustainable and does not degrade soil conditions (Kleinmann et al., 1996). However, it requires that slash and burn techniques only involve a small number of farmers across relatively wide areas, so there is sufficient time for the ecosystem to recover. As agricultural practices tend to be more settled and agricultural areas are more limited, the application of slash and burn agriculture should be stopped because it is ecologically unfeasible.The problem is that the use of fire as a land clearing method is also adopted by large plantation companies and forest-plantation management. The main reason is, of course, to reduce production costs. \n

Pollution increases which may result in an increase in greenhouse gases. This, in turn, causes global warming and climate change.\nWhen the forests are burnt, ecologies and habitats are destroyed. Flora are burnt or choked by the haze. The fauna also suffer from the loss of food and habitat.\n\n
Population with weak constitution may suffer from illness related to the haze or respiratory difficulties.\nSome symptoms include:\n-  Red/Sore eyes \n-  Sore throat \n-  Rashes \n-  Respiratory difficulties \n\n
Losses are incurred through loss of visibility or tourism.\nSmaller businesses also suffer as most people avoid going outdoors. Also, retailers will lose out due to low sales rate.\nLosses for 1997 (SEA): USD 9 Billion\n\n
Tourists are discouraged from visiting the affected countries. This would affect the tourism industry and hence the economic aspect too.\n\n
