TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - The need for long-term remedies for Indonesia's forest fires JO - Conservation biology A1 - Chisholm, Ryan A. A1 - Wijedsa, Lahiru A1 - Swinfield, Tom SP - 5 EP - 6 VL - 30 IS - 1 N2 - In recent months, an environmental disaster with global consequences has been unfolding in Southeast Asia. Unusually extensive and persistent fires in Indonesia have razed thousands of square kilometers of tropical forest and peatland, casting a toxic cloud of smoky haze over the region and dumping billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Similar fires have occurred annually for decades, but strong El NiƱo conditions have made this year's the worst since 1997. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
