Working 24-hour shifts, Indonesian fire fighting teams have been battling roaring flames above ground, but also struggling to extinguish the more insidious, hard-to-detect underground peat fires. Scientists estimate that deforestation contributes up to 20 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
