Indonesiërs demonstreren tegen bosbranden en slechte luchtkwaliteit
Protesters marched through Jakarta and other Indonesian cities to express anger over wildfires and the severe haze they have caused. The demonstrations focus on public health and the failure to bring smoke under control, according to the report. Fires have pushed air quality to dangerous levels across affected areas. Over the past several months, hundreds of thousands of people have developed respiratory problems linked to the smoke. Many participants were responding to months of exposure rather than a single day of poor air. The report did not identify particular organizers or list demands, but it described a broad protest movement driven by the health effects of the fires.
Demonstranten zijn in Jakarta en andere Indonesische steden de straat op gegaan uit woede over de natuurbranden en de slechte luchtkwaliteit die daardoor is ontstaan. De afgelopen maanden hebben honderdduizenden mensen ademhalingsproblemen gekregen.
