Discussion on Land Clearing and Fires
Once it's all cleared, oil palms will be planted on top.
They say the owner is Galih, a resident of Pekanbaru.
I don't care who you are. You might have 30
hectares around here, they say, but cut down trees and you'll get caught.
Look at tree roots this big, chopped down and then burned.
Galih has it so easy. Galih is his name.
Yes.
Why is peat so ha— why is it so hard to extinguish?
Because it's like a sponge. There's sti— inside here,
there's still fire.
That's why when using a nozzle, you pierce into the fire like that.
Then the issue is water sources. Not every wildfire location has a source
of water.
Once it's all cleared, oil palms will be planted on top.
So in about a month, oil palm seedlings will be brought in.
No way. For the next three months or so, I'll
will monitor on the ground. There's no way it becomes palm oil here.
That's why land burners must truly be punished
as severely as possible.

Nanti nih, udah bersih nih, nanti di atasnya sawit. Katanya pemilik namanya Galih warga, warga Pekanbaru. Saya gak peduli siapa pun Anda ya. Anda punya tiga puluh hektar katanya sekitaran sini, kamu nebang pohon pasti kena kamu. Cobalah akar pohon dah sebesar ini ditebang habis itu dibakar,
enak kali si Galih. Galih namanya. Ya. Mengapa gambut itu ba-- apa sangat susah untuk dipadamkan? Karena dia kayak spons. Ini kan mas-- di dalam ini masih ada apinya.
Makanya kalau pakainya pakai nozzle, ditusuk gitu apinya. Baru persoalannya kan sumber air tidak semua lokasi karhutla itu ada sumber air. Nanti nih, udah bersih nih, nanti di atasnya sawit. Jadi ada sebulan ini masuk nanti bibit sawit.
Gak ada ceritanya. Ini sampai tiga atau bulan ke depan saya akan pantau di lapangan. Gak ada ceritanya jadi sawit di sini. Makanya apa, pembakar lahan itu memang harus dihukum seberat-beratnya.
