Southeast Asia Wildfires

About wildfires in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia experiences intense annual fire seasons driven by agricultural burning, peatland fires, and deforestation. The transboundary haze crisis, primarily caused by fires in Indonesia, affects air quality across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond.

Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam experience widespread burning during their dry seasons (February-April), with fires used for crop residue removal and land preparation. The region's fire activity has significant implications for public health and climate.
