“…Environmental damage can also lead to conflict between countries. For example, forest fires on the islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra sent smoke to neighboring Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore (Kadir et al, 2021). This sparked protests from these three countries.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Environmental damage must be taken seriously. Strengthening human attitudes to preserve the environment is the keyword, and strengthening the aspects of knowledge about the environment must be pursued. However, a scientific basis is needed that shows that it is true that strengthening the aspects of knowledge about the environment can improve a person’s attitude toward preserving the environment. The purpose of this research is to find the relationship between a person’s knowledge and their behavior in preserving the environment. By defining the general picture of the relationship between knowledge and attitudes, future accurate educational policies can be taken in the context of environmental protection. This research is a meta-analysis of correlation types. The inclusion criteria for selecting the data are as follows: studies published from 1999 to 2022 in English, analyzed by correlation analysis, have descriptions of many samples and correlation indices, and published in Google Scholar-indexed journals. Based on this inclusion criteria, 23 studies were selected containing 36 relevant sets of research data. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge and a person’s attitude toward the environment (.37). Assuming a 95% confidence level, the real score ranges from 0.26 to 0.48. The publication bias test using the trim and fill method showed that none of the data contained biased publications, so the meta-analysis results could be declared valid. Now, there is an urgency to expand environmental education to encourage the development of good attitudes by the community toward the environment.</p>

“…The carbon emission from land and forest fires in 1997 was equivalent to between 13 and 40% of mean annual global carbon emissions from fossil fuels [362], while peat fires for four months only in 2015 reached 0.002 Gtonnes [363]. In fact, other hazardous gases and materials that reduced air quality were also significantly produced, such as PM 2.5 and carbon monoxide [364,365]. At the regional and local levels, fires cause changes in biomass stocks, alter the hydrological cycle, and impact the functioning of plant and animal species [354].…”

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement.

“…Globally, droughts and forest fires are natural disasters that are increasing due to the climate crisis, causing serious damage such as human and ecological damage, economic damage, and forest damage 9 . In the case of Indonesia, many mountainous areas are experiencing illegal land conversion into farmland, in which artificial fires are occurring and government efforts are being thwarted by widespread damage 10 , 11 . The main affected areas were found to be concentrated in Sumatra and Kalimantan islands where Palm oil plantations were concentrated 12 , 13 .…”

“…Secondly, forest fires can be triggered by human activities such as illegal logging, the use of firearms, and improper disposal of cigarettes 35 . Lastly, the lack of effective forest management practices and the absence of adequate forest fire prevention and firefighting systems can also contribute to the spread of forest fires 11 . Data from both hazardous and non-hazardous locations were needed by the machine learning models in this research to perform modeling 36 .…”

Numerous natural disasters that threaten people’s lives and property occur in Indonesia. Climate change-induced temperature increases are expected to affect the frequency of natural hazards in the future and pose more risks. This study examines the consequences of droughts and forest fires on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan. We first create maps showing the eleven contributing factors that have the greatest impact on forest fires and droughts related to the climate, topography, anthropogenic, and vegetation. Next, we used RF to create single and multi-risk maps for forest fires and droughts in Kalimantan Island. Finally, using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) integrated evaluation model, a future climate scenario was applied to predict multiple risk maps for RCP-SSP2-4.5 and RCP-SSP5-8.5 in 2040–2059 and 2080–2099. The probability of a 22.6% drought and a 21.7% forest fire were anticipated to have an influence on the study’s findings, and 2.6% of the sites looked at were predicted to be affected by both hazards. Both RCP-SSP2-4.5 and RCP-SSP5-8.5 have an increase in these hazards projected for them. Researchers and stakeholders may use these findings to assess risks under various mitigation strategies and estimate the spatial behavior of such forest fire and drought occurrences.
