Țara care își construiește o capitală modernă în junglă e îngrijorată că flăcările se apropie de aceasta

Indonesia is facing increasing wildfires near its new capital, Nusantara, prompting disaster management authorities to request cloud seeding and aerial firefighting operations. The fires have spread to areas within 50 kilometers of the capital, affecting around 400 hectares. The situation is exacerbated by a severe dry season and the 'super El Niño' phenomenon. The new capital project, announced in 2019, has faced delays and budget cuts since the current president took office. Local experts express concerns about the chosen location's vulnerability to fires due to its forested surroundings, despite lower risks compared to other regions. Meanwhile, hundreds gathered for prayers seeking rain to alleviate the situation.
