FoE APAC urges Indonesian plantation firms to be held accountable for transboundary haze
Friends of the Earth Asia Pacific (FoE APAC) has called for companies with operations in Indonesia's plantation and forestry sectors to be held responsible for the smoke pollution from forest and land fires. Pollution from burning areas in Kalimantan is reported to have spread to Malaysia and the Philippines, with Sarawak among the worst affected states in Malaysia since early August. FoE APAC also urged the Indonesian government, the UN and ASEAN to take stronger action.
