Indonesia Affirms that Forest and Land Fire Research Must be Data-Based

The Indonesian government emphasizes that research conducted on the incidence of forest and land fires (karhutla) in Indonesia must be based on data, not mere false narratives.

This refers to an article in The Conversation written by David Gaveau on December 17, 2021, which mentions events that occurred two years earlier. Head of the Bureau of Foreign Cooperation of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) Dida Migfar Ridha explained that this problem began when David Gaveau published an erroneous report shortly before COP25. "If you look at the timing, it is clearly intended to undermine the credibility of the efforts made by the Indonesian government to address the problem of deforestation and forest and land fires," said Dida in a statement from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. has regretted the timing and taken a misstep in prematurely publishing this year's fire analysis.CIFOR also stated that the research in question had not adhered to the so-called normal oversight of peer review processes conducted by scientific journals and that primary forest damage was very low in Indonesia.
