"Sumatra’s floods were not unpredictable. They were foretold in satellite images, NGO reports, parliamentary studies and court filings for years. Between 1990 and 2020, the island lost nearly half of its primary forest cover. In 2024 alone, Indonesia lost more than 240,000 hectares of primary forest, much of it in Sumatra. Forests that once functioned as a sponge—absorbing rain, stabilising soil, regulating rivers—had been thinned, fragmented or cleared entirely. When the rains came, there was nowhere for the water to go."
