1 | Riau, Indonesia: ‘Ground Zero’ of Southeast Asia Haze | Riau, Indonezia : Zavon'ny ‘Ground Zero’ Ao Azia Atsimo |
2 | The deadly haze which swept Singapore and some parts of Malaysia this year was caused by the forest fires in Riau, located west of Indonesia. | Ilay setroka mahafaty nandrakotra an'i Singapore sy ireo faritra sasantsasany tao Malayzia hita tamin'ity taona ity dia vokatry ny doro ala tao Riau, izay ao amin'ny faritra Andrefan'i Indonezia. |
3 | Naturally, it attracted significant mainstream media attention but there was scant reporting on the situation of Riau citizens who have tremendously suffered and are still suffering from the impact of both the haze and forest fires. | Mazava ho azy fa nisarika ny sain'ireo filazam-baovao goavana rehetra izany, kanefa, vitsy ny tatitra mahakasika ny manjo ireo mponina ao Riau izay tena nijaly tokoa ary mbola mijaly ihany hatramin'izao noho ny vokatra naterak'ilay setroka sy ireo doro ala maro. |
4 | Zul Othman of The New Paper praised Riau firefighters for their heroic efforts to stop the spread of the forest fire: | Zul Othman avy ao amin'ny The New Paper dia nidera ireo mpamonjy voina ao Riau tamin'ny fikelezana aina nataon'izy ireo mba tsy hampihanaka ny afo : |
5 | Politicians can talk and pontificate all they want but, on ground zero in Indonesia's Riau province, it is the brave and hardy souls who are bearing the brunt of fires that never seem to die. | Ireo politisiana kosa afaka niresaka sy nihebohebo araka izay tiany avy, kanefa tao amin'ny “ground zero” tao amin'ny faritanin'i Riau, Indonezia dia ireo manana fanahy sahy sy matanjaka no nisedra ny afo izay toa tsy ho faty mihitsy raha ny fahitàna azy. |
6 | They are on the front line of the hot spots. | Niatrika mivantana ny afo navaivay izy ireo. |
7 | And it is a painful, impossible task. | Tena mafy sy sarotra tanterahana izany lahasa izany. |
8 | Not least of their problems: How to fight fires with no water? | Ary tsy ny kely indrindra tamin'ny olana natrehan'izy ireo dia ny hoe : Ahoana no fomba hiadiana amin'ny afo tsy misy rano ? |
9 | How to go on fighting when your lungs are on fire? | Ahoana no fomba hanohizana ny ady kanefa ny tratranao aza may ? |
10 | The flames were doused, but never completely tamed. | Voatondraka ny afo fa tsy mety voafehy tanteraka mihitsy. |
11 | Huge patches of scorched peatland were still smouldering, emitting heat and lots of smoke. | Mbola manetroka be ireo ampahana kitay may, izay mandefa hafanana sy setroka manentoento. |
12 | Life Story of a Driller visited the site of the ‘smog attack': | “Life Story of a Driller” dia nitsidika ilay valan'ny ‘Smog Attack - fanafihan'ny zavona‘ : |
13 | Last night, I stood on the one of grass fire frontier in Bengkalis, Riau (20/06/2013). | Halina, nijoro teny amin'ny faritry ny bozaka main'ny afo tany Bengkalis, Riau (20/06/2013) aho. |
14 | People called this Smog Attack. | Antsoin'ny olona hoe Smog Attack io. |
15 | Smog means “Smoke+Fog”. | Smog dia midika hoe “Smoke+Fog” na “Afo+Zavona”. |
16 | In Singapore, it's just called haze, because it's not thick enough. | Ao Singapore, antsoina hoe Setroka fotsiny ilay izy, satria tsy dia natevina be loatra. |
17 | The Center for International Rorestry Research explains why the haze has stayed for so long in the region: | Ilay Foibem-pikarohana Iraisam-pirenena Rorestry dia nanazava ny antony nampijanona ela ilay zavona tao amin'ny faritra : |
18 | The haze lingers because the fires do too. | Mijanona ny zavona satria mbola eo koa ny afo. |
19 | Fires are in peat around 3-4 m underground. | Manodidina ny 3-4 metatra ny ambanin'ireo antontan-porohana no halalin'ny afo. |
20 | Firefighters have to stick a hose into the peat to douse the fire | Mila mametaka fantsona anatin'ireo antontan-porohana may ireo ny mpamonjy voina mba hamonoana ny afo |
21 | Map of Indonesia forest fires from The Center for International Rorestry Research | Sarintany ahitana ny doro ala tao Indonezia avy amin'ny Foibem-pikarohana Iraisam-pirenena Rorestry |
22 | An interactive map was also developed to accurately monitor the spread of haze and forest fires in the country. | Nisy ny sarintany niarahana namolavola mba hanaraha-maso tsy misy tomika ny fielezan'ny entona sy ny doro ala ao amin'ny firenena. |
23 | David Gaveau and Mohammad Agus Salim studied the causes of the haze: | David Gaveau sy Mohammad Agus Salim dia nandinika ireo antony niavian'ny entona : |
24 | Many of the June 2013 fires are part of the processes of plantation establishment and management. | Maro tamin'ireo fahamaizana nitranga ny volana Jona 2013 no avy amin'ireo fomba fametrahana sy fikarakarana ny fambolena. |
25 | The very short period over which fire incidents peaked, the high proportion of fires occurring on peatlands, typical patterns of plantation management in fire areas….support this hypothesis. | Ny fiakaran'ny afo haingana be tao anaty fotoana fohy, ny haben'ny afo hita eny amin'ireo antontam-porohana may izay tena hita fa fomba fanaon'ny olona tavy teny amin'ny faritry ny afo….izany no manohana io ahiahy io. |
26 | Weather conditions (including wind patterns) exacerbated the haze problem in June 2013 compared with previous fire incidents. | Ny toetr'andro (anatin'izany ny fizotry ny rivotra) dia vao miha nampitombo ny olana teo amin'ny entona ny volana Jona 2013 raha oharina tamin'ireo doro ala nisy taloha. |

28 | Satriastanti called the haze affecting Indonesia's neighbors as ‘transferred pollution': | Satriastanti dia niantso ilay entona nipaka tany amin'ireo firenena rahavavin'i Indonezia ho ‘loto nafindra' : |
29 | …measures such as logging moratorium in line with reducing greenhouse gas emissions have been taken by Indonesia to fight forest fires. | …nisy ny fepetra noraisin'i Indonezia toy ny fametrahana fampiatoana vonjimaika ny fitrandrahana ala hiadiana amin'ny fihanahan'ny entona miteraka hafanana. |
30 | But it appears as if these measures have been insufficient and have achieved limited success. | Kanefa hita izao fa toa tsy ampy izany fisorohana noraisina izany ary voafetra ihany ny fahombiazany. |
31 | The writer also observed that authorities have been arresting small farmers and not plantation owners: | Nomarihin'ilay mpanoratra ihany koa fa ireo mpamboly madinika no nosamborin'ireo manam-pahefana fa tsy ireo tomponà tany fambolena goavana : |
32 | …they were only arresting small crooks but left out bigger companies who were resorting to the cheapest way of clearing land for palm oil plantations: burning down forests. | …ireo madinika mpanararaotra no nosamborin'izy ireo ary ireo orinasa lehibe izay mampihatra ny fomba tsotra indrindra ahafahana mamboly voanio fanao menaka kosa navelany : mandoro ny ala. |
33 | I find it quite hard to believe that the farmers could have caused this much damage. | Amiko, sarotra hinoana ny hoe ireo mpamboly madinika no nahatonga izao fahavoazana be izao. |
34 | First, they rarely own the lands. | Voalohany, matetika tsy azy ireo ny tany. |
35 | Second, even if they do own lands, it's mostly limited to two hectares. | Faharoa, raha manana tany aza izy ireo, dia tsy mihoatra ny roa hektara. |
36 | If the president can deliver an apology to the neighboring countries, then he can certainly apologize to his own people for failing to protect this country's future generations. | Raha afaka nitondra ny fialantsininy tamin'ireo firenena rahavavy ny Filoha, azo antoka koa izany fa afaka ny hitondra ny fialantsiny amin'ireo vahoakany izy noho ny tsy nahavitany niaro ireo taranaka hoavy ao amin'ny fireneny. Ala may tao Riau, Indonezia. |
37 | A burning forest in Riau, Indonesia. | Sary nalain'i Virna Puspa Setyorini, Fizakà-manana @Demotix (6/20/2013) |
38 | Photo by Virna Puspa Setyorini, Copyright @Demotix (6/20/2013) | Unspun dia tena diso fanantenana kely tamin'ny fahelan'ny fandraisan'ireo manampahefana Indoneziana fepetra hiatrehana ilay olana : |
39 | In this age of satellite imagery what further investigation is needed to zoom in on the plantations with forest fires and punish them? | Amin'izao vanim-potoana ahafahana maka sary amin'ny Satelita izao, fanadihadiana inona indray no mbola ilaina ahafahana mijery akaiky ireo toeram-pambolena misy doro ala sy hanamelohana azy ireo ? |
40 | What fumes is the Forestry Ministry and other Indonesian officials inhaling? | Setroka inona àry no trohan'ny Ministry ny Ala sy ireo manampahefana ao Indonezia ireo ? |
41 | @iamdreamcatcher posted a picture of a burning forest in Riau and blamed irresponsible companies: | @iamdreamcatcher dia nampakatra sary ahitàna ala iray may tao Riau ary nanameloka ireo orinasa tsy mandray andraikitra : |
42 | some of companies also have concession lands in the two islands; Sumatra and Kalimantan. it happens years ago, so I guess not just Singapore or Malaysia who's tired with the situation, we also have the same feeling for these irresponsible people … | Misy amin'ireo orinasa no manana tany ifanarahany amin'ireo nosy roa; Sumatra sy Kalimantan. Efa nitranga ny toa izany herintaona lasa izay, ary heveriko fa tsy i Singapore na i Malezia ihany no efa leo ny toa izany, fa izahay koa dia mahatsapa izany amin'ireo olona tsy mahatsapa ny andraikiny ireo… |
