ALT Image taken from Instagram account @ranuwelum.foundation An image of an aerial view of two people in fire fighting gear hosing down a section of burnt land, smoke rising from the ground. The text below the image reads: In the heart of the devastating haze crisis in Borneo, the Ranu Welum Foundation is leading a groundbreaking initiative to empower Indigenous Dayak youth to become the frontline heroes. Despite directly affected by the fires and toxic smoke, not only these warriors are stepping up to battle the blazes and save Borneo's precious rainforest, they are also helping Dayak Indigenous communities and local people who are in the danger and serious health risks, especially babies, elders, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
ALT Excerpt from BBC article “The volunteers risking their lives to defuse Indonesia's wildfire 'carbon bombs'” The text reads: Using hand tools, carts and portable fire pumps, he and thousands of other volunteer firefighters—many of them indigenous Dayak or Banjar people—are up against an inferno that has carbonised some 200,000 hectares of forest and farmland across Indonesian Borneo since early July. Underground and out of sight, giant subterranean peat fires continue to smoulder, choking the air with poisonous fumes. "Once a fire becomes uncontrolled, it harms many people. Not just humans, but also animals and plants," Sujatmoko says. "If underground fire spreads and can no longer be controlled, the losses are enormous."

ALT Excerpt from Guardian article in previous image. The text reads: The Indonesian government has been accused of "gross negligence" in a class action lawsuit over its handling of wildfires that have cloaked large parts of South-east Asia in a toxic haze, shuttered schools and caused a spike in respiratory illnesses. The lawsuit, filed by indigenous and civil society groups in the Indonesian part of Borneo, named President Prabowo Subianto and the governor of West Kalimantan among 10 defendants. The case seeks comprehensive recovery and rehabilitation measures that would include covering the healthcare costs of residents.
