By definition, it is raining in a rain forest so that the trees are green all year. That is why a rain forest is very wet. It is easy to find water.
High humidity makes a rain forest hard to be burnt.
However, this is complete opposite of the forests in Indonesia at the moment. Along with the wetness, the sounds of the forest has disappeared too. The fire has caused massive damage within its borders as well as for its neighboring countries, such as Malaysia and Singapore. Since the 1986 fires, Indonesia has been at odds with Malaysia and Singapore, as the haze from these fires covered the South East Asian region for weeks, causing health problems, disruption of shipping and aviation, and culminating in the closure of international airports. Economic losses and ecological damage continues to be enormous It is important to note that most of the forest fires in Indonesia are man-made.
