O fogo como ferramenta no uso e na mudança do uso da terra, e os incêndios florestais que afetam as áreas de floresta e de turfa no sudeste asiático constituem uma grande ameaça ao meio ambiente e à sociedade. O fogo utilizado na mudança do uso da terra contribui para um aumento líquido de gases traço ativos radioativamente (gases de efeito estufa) na atmosfera, constituindo assim uma importante contribuição antropogênica para a mudança do microclima. A poluição do ar próxima ao solo resulta em sérias ameaças à saúde e segurança humanas. Além disso, a aplicação do fogo no uso da terra e os incêndios florestais afetam ecossistemas sensíveis ao fogo, como florestas tropicais equatoriais e turfeiras, onde têm impactos prejudiciais sobre os processos do ecossistema, a biodiversidade e a subsistência das populações indígenas. Considerando que a Indonésia está buscando soluções permanentes, o manejo sustentável desses ecossistemas, que são vulneráveis à s excessivas modificações antropogênicas e ao fogo, deve basear-se na experiência de campo, uma vez que o manejo de um fator único poderia não funcionar sozinho. O Regional Fire Management Resource Center - South East Asia/RFMRC-SEA estabelece a conexão entre os serviços do WMO Vegetation Fire and Smoke Pollution Warning Advisory and Assessment System/VFSP-WAS para o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas sustentáveis de manejo do solo, manejo do fogo e práticas de gestão.
