UNDP – As Indonesia grapples with the dual pressures of climate change and rapid deforestation, women are stepping into crucial roles in forest fire management, contributing their unique strengths to prevention and response.
Each year, the Indonesian archipelago faces devastating fires that ravage vast areas of tropical rainforest and peatlands, and effective fire management strategies have never been more critical.
In the fight against fire, the role of women is especially vital, broadening the reach and resilience of these efforts but also bringing unique insights and strengths to fire prevention and risk reduction.
