Tech and Innovation
The government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that land clearing in Indonesia is carried out safely, efficiently, and without harming the environment. Through an official directive, the government will provide modern technology as an alternative for communities and companies wishing to clear land, replacing the practice of forest burning that has long been the main cause of forest and land fires (karhutla).
The government explained that this program includes the provision of heavy equipment, environmentally friendly land-clearing technology, and technical assistance from relevant ministries. “Communities indeed need land for economic activities, but burning forests is not a solution. The government is committed to providing access to efficient and environmentally safe technology,” the official statement said.
This program will be launched gradually, starting in fire-prone areas such as West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan. In addition, the government will provide assistance to farmers and businesses so they can adopt sustainable land-clearing methods.
The success of fire management this year, which significantly reduced the number of hotspots, proves that cross-ministry, institutional, and community cooperation can deliver real results. Technologies such as weather modification, water bombing, and satellite monitoring have been used to prevent fires early on.
The government also emphasized the importance of building a permanent technology system to prevent forest and land fires, especially in peatlands. This includes early detection technology, accurate weather prediction, and consistent weather modification to minimize fire risks. The government reminded that there will be zero tolerance for land burning in any form.
The latest government data shows that as of August 1, 2025, the burned land area in Indonesia reached 8,955 hectares across 28 provinces and 128 districts. This figure dropped drastically by 33.3 percent compared to the same period last year, which reached 376,805 hectares.
Meanwhile, data from the Forest and Land Fire Monitoring System (Sipongi) of the Ministry of Environment shows 135 hotspot points in June, 879 in July, and 96 in August 2025.
During the forest and land fires, Jejakin carried out inspections through CarbonAtlas, Jejakin’s monitoring platform connected to global satellites and an early fire warning system.
As a result, in July 2025, there were no indications of fire hotspots in Jejakin’s planting areas. Jejakin continues to monitor fire developments in Sumatra through its platform, as safeguarding means being present even when risks arise.
Forest fires are indeed disasters that are difficult to prevent entirely, but with the right technology, we can be more prepared, more responsive, and protect for longer.
CarbonAtlas is a modern carbon project monitoring platform that helps companies and organizations effectively monitor reforestation programs, while also producing reports that comply with international standards. This ensures that all projects are implemented with the highest quality.
The platform utilizes remote sensing technology and field sensors specifically designed to support Carbon Project Developers, Implementing Partners, and Verification Bodies in managing and developing carbon projects.
CarbonAtlas enables quick carbon assessments in forestry areas, supported by monitoring reports through its dMRV (digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) feature that adheres to globally recognized methodologies and standards.
This feature makes the monitoring, reporting, and verification process accurate, transparent, and traceable. All data is collected via a mobile application, covering three main aspects: Climate, Community, and Biodiversity. Additionally, CarbonAtlas can calculate potential carbon credits from the FOLU (Forestry and Other Land Use) sector.
Now is the time for all parties—government, businesses, academia, media, and communities—to unite in preventing forest and land fires. Let’s support environmentally friendly land clearing for a greener and healthier future.
Come on, let’s start with ourselves! Don’t burn land, use safe technology, and protect Indonesia’s nature together.
Jejakin’s green programs combine high-tech monitoring, biodiversity restoration, and community-led initiatives to deliver powerful, sustainable change across ecosystems.
