An article by Mongabay on the impacts of haze on Southeast Asia’s wildlife. With views and comments from Natalia Huang, Anuj Jain, Zee Jaffar and Lahiru.
“We have had haze in 1983, 1997-98, 2006, 2013 and now today, but there have been no studies on its effects on biodiversity and ecosystems. The current fires are pumping more emissions than the U.S., yet we have absolutely no clue about its wider effects.”
“I am quite worried at the lack of proper science behind the haze,” he said, “This is not a time to do science after Rome has burned. We need it now.”
