Karhutla Threatens Orangutans, Ministry of Forestry Holds Daily Patrols and Strengthens Call Center
Apart from strengthening reporting channels, the Ministry of Forestry will increase the intensity of animal rescue patrols. Patrols that were previously carried out periodically will be carried out every day.
Edit
Patrol activities will also be accompanied by outreach to the public regarding actions that must be taken when finding orangutans or other wild animals in residential areas or areas affected by forest and land fires.
Edit
According to Raja Juli Antoni, forest and land fires can threaten the safety of animals not only through flames. The smoke produced by forest and land fires also has the potential to harm the health of animals and damage their habitat.
Edit
Forest and land fires can also force orangutans and other wild animals out of their habitat to look for safer places. These conditions increase the possibility of animal encounters with the community.
