[^3]\n\nFiqri Ardiansyah, a forestry expert at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Gadjah Mada (UGM), stated on September 3, 2024, that a high number of hotspots in concession areas indicates non-compliance or land management issues that require further investigation.

[^5]\n\nThe UN described the current situation as a danger zone of extreme climate conditions. [^6]\n\nThe UN stated that the gigantic El Niño phenomenon will reach its peak by the end of the year. [^7]\n\nFiqri Ardiansyah argued that future forest fire management should shift from a focus on suppression to prevention and increasing ecosystem resilience. [^8]\n\nFiqri Ardiansyah explained that repeated fires are influenced by human accessibility to an area, noting that regions easily reached by people have a higher potential for fires due to human activity sources. [^9]\n\nFiqri Ardiansyah stated that El Nino is not a direct cause of forest fires but plays a role in increasing the vulnerability of fuel to fire by raising temperatures and reducing rainfall.
