National Hotspots Jump to 1,271, Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) and West Kalimantan (Kalbar) Become Focus of Forest and Forestry Control
- South Kalimantan: 42 points, previously 63 points.
- Riau: nil, previously two points.
- Jambi: still nil.
In a written statement, Saturday (3/10/2026), the Ministry of Forestry emphasized that Hotspots do not indicate the number of fire incidents or the area of land burned.
"Hotspots are an indication of surface temperature anomalies detected by satellites and not the number of fire incidents or the area burned," said the ministry's statement.
One fire event can be detected as several Hotspots. Therefore, every indication needs to be checked directly in the field via groundcheck to ensure conditions and determine treatment.
