ItemControlling a regional threat : fighting fire in Indonesia(Honolulu, HI : East-West Center, 1998-12-01)Larger-than-expected fires in Indonesia last month have given a renewed sense of urgency to international efforts to prevent and fight forest fires in that country, and funds are flowing into an ASEAN fund earmarked for such efforts.
