Indonesia Faces Worst Wildfires in 11 Years, May Persist Until November

Indonesia is currently dealing with its most severe wildfire outbreak in over a decade. The blazes have been intensified by 'super El Nino' weather conditions, which have left forests and fields extremely dry. The country's Forestry Minister has warned that the fires could continue burning until early November. The prolonged dry spell driven by El Nino is being cited as the primary factor behind the scale and persistence of the crisis.
