Measurable Action for Haze-Free Sustainable Land Management in Southeast Asia (MAHFSA) Programme

Over the past decades, peatland degradation, caused by unsustainable agricultural and forestry practices, such as excessive drainage and land clearance using fire, has resulted in an increase in the extent and frequency of forest and peatland fires. These fires emit significant greenhouse gases, cause large-scale deforestation and transboundary air pollution, also referred to as “haze”, ultimately leading to significant health and socio-economic impacts affecting more than 50 million people across the ASEAN region.
