Indonesia Closes National Park in East Java as Wildfire Expands The recent closure of Mount Bromo national park in East Java due to a rapidly spreading wildfire has raised concerns about Indonesia's ability to manage its increasingly frequent and intense wildfires.
This latest incident is not an isolated event, but rather a symptom of the country's struggles with climate change adaptation.
Indonesia's dry season this year is expected to be particularly harsh, thanks in part to the El Nino weather pattern.
