Battling Indonesia’s Peatland Fires: A Fight for Nature

In 2016, Greenpeace Indonesia’s Forest Fires Prevention Team was born in response to the catastrophic 2015 fires that covered Southeast Asia in choking smoke. Now, these dedicated individuals are on the frontlines, battling the flames that threaten Indonesia’s tropical peatlands—ecosystems that store massive carbon reserves and provide a sanctuary for endangered species like orangutans, tigers, and elephants. Join us as Rizky Prasitha, one of the founding team members, shares his journey and dedication to saving these irreplaceable landscapes. His story is a powerful reminder of resilience and hope against industrial greed. Ahead of the UN Biodiversity COP16, join us in sending a message of #HopeforNature and urging leaders to #DefundNatureDestruction. Watch, share, and stand with us to protect Indonesia’s peatlands and our climate! #WorldOnFire
