It\u2019s been more than a month since we moved &#8212; or rather escaped &#8212; to my parent\u2019s house in West Sumatra. But like a dark cloud over my head, I\u2019ve since discovered that wherever I go, smoke follows.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the past fortnight, most of Sumatra has been <a class=\"zoom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thejakartapost.com\/news\/2015\/09\/04\/most-sumatra-blanketed-smoke.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blanketed by smoke<\/a>, triggered by forest fires in South Sumatra and the central east and eastern provinces of Riau and Jambi. It\u2019s currently the dry season and major companies are accused of <a class=\"zoom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/asia\/se-asia\/10-firms-probed-over-indonesia-forest-fires\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intentionally and illegally burning to clear land for palm oil plantation<\/a>. Individual farmers are using \u201cslash and burn\u201d techniques to make way for new crops, resulting in a thick haze that has also enveloped Singapore and Malaysia, and <a class=\"zoom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/opinion\/timely-for-spore-indonesia-govts-to-prove-that-haze-policies-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forced the closure of schools and airports<\/a>. Needless to say, the pollution is stifling.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A friend in Pekanbaru who was unable to move his family away from Riau has no choice but to try and live with the dangerous pollutants. Another friend, who recently had a baby, was recommended by the doctor to take his daughter outside as much as possible so she can bathe in sunlight, which is crucial to avoid jaundice. Unfortunately, the sun never shines as smog has shrouded the Pekanbaru sky.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49320\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/9bad6888-gp04n47_web_size_with_credit_line.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49320\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/9bad6888-gp04n47_web_size_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"Forest Fires Cause Smog in Dumai City\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-49320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Market vendors in Dumai wear masks to protect themselves from air pollution caused by the forest fires in Sumatra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the last several years, the Indonesian government has spent millions of dollars fighting forest fires via water bombing and cloud seeding efforts. President Joko Widodo has shown compassion and concern for the raging situation. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/en\/press\/releases\/Indonesian-President-dams-canal-vows-to-protect-peatlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Last November<\/a>,\u00a0he visited Sungai Tohor in Riau, one of the provinces most affected by peatland fires, and personally blocked one of the many canals dug to drain peatlands for plantations.

While this document should have set out solutions to the ongoing deforestation crisis, it unfortunately <a class=\"pdf\" href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/Global\/international\/briefings\/forests\/2015\/Indonesia%20INDC%20Briefer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fails to provide any commitment to zero deforestation<\/a>, or peatland protection and restoration. With Indonesia being among the top emitters of greenhouse gases &#8212; and <a class=\"zoom\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2014\/jun\/29\/rate-of-deforestation-in-indonesia-overtakes-brazil-says-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">overtaking Brazil<\/a> in terms of deforestation &#8212; this seems like a glaring and obvious omission.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just how long the government intends on waiting before taking serious action on the situation is a worrying question. Just a few days ago, my wife showed me the air quality data in Pekanbaru &#8212; &#8220;dangerous.&#8221;\u00a0This means that our living space is no longer fit for humans to inhabit, and for the second time we\u2019ve been forced to cancel our plan to move back to Pekanbaru.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With the smog blanketing so much of Sumatra, there is practically nowhere to escape. But now I am no longer waiting for the mercy of the government, nor the conscience of those who are selfishly burning and destroying the forests just to expand their monoculture plantations. Instead, my will to fight back has strengthened after looking into the eyes of my three-year old daughter, my wife and especially the future of the baby still inside her womb. They have to breathe the fresh air &#8212; even if it only means for a distant tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/grnpc.org\/Ig21X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take action and stop deforestation.
