The ancient rock paintings in Sulawesi, Indonesia, face threats from severe wildfires exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon. Researchers warn that the heat and smoke from these fires can damage the prehistoric artworks, some dating back over 67,000 years. Despite firefighting efforts, the fires have already scorched significant areas of the national park, raising concerns about the preservation of these cultural treasures. The ongoing wildfires are among the worst in recent years, with extensive land affected across Indonesia. Experts emphasize the urgent need for action to protect these invaluable historical sites.
