Ministry of Forestry Investigates Causes of Bromo Fire, Two Environmental Experts Involved

"This entire process is carried out carefully so that every legal step taken has a strong basis and can be accounted for," he stressed.

Recurring Fires Threaten the Ecological Function of TNBTS

Recurring fires in the TNBTS area not only damage the vegetation cover. This incident also has the potential to disrupt the ecological function of the area, animal habitat, ecosystem balance and the environmental benefits that the community has experienced.

Therefore, expert studies are needed to measure the level of damage as well as understand the patterns and causes of fires scientifically. These findings can also help the government formulate recovery steps and prevent similar incidents from recurring.

The Ministry of Forestry stated that it would continue to strengthen the protection of conservation areas through prevention, monitoring, cross-party cooperation and evidence-based law enforcement.

The investigation will continue until the cause of the fire is revealed. If elements of a violation or criminal act are found, the party responsible will be processed according to legal provisions.
