Forest fires in Indonesia have dramatically increased since 1997 as well. These fires are often actively started to clear forest for agriculture. They can set fire to the large peat bogs in the region and the CO 2 released by these peat bog fires has been estimated, in an average year, to be 15% of the quantity of CO 2 produced by fossil fuel ...
