00:02Wildfires threatening Indonesia's Sulawesi Island could destroy some of the world's oldest known cave paintings with heat and smoke accelerating
00:11the deterioration of the ancient art.
00:48While Sumatra and Borneo have been among the worst hit areas, fires have also been detected on Sulawesi, including in
00:56South Sulawesi,
00:57where limestone caves preserve some of the world's oldest known prehistoric art.
01:02Basran warned that smoke could leave a layer of soot on the paintings, obscuring the images and making them difficult
01:09to identify.
01:27Sehingga gambarnya kemudian akan kabur, sulit untuk diidentifikasi.
01:31Jadi dia seperti membentuk lapisan baru diatasnya yang menutup lukisan.
01:34Jadi lukisannya akan tertutup dengan jelaga itu.
01:38Kalau ini tidak ditangani dengan segera, tidak dianggap diambil langkah taktis untuk memitigasi kejadian ini,
01:48kita akan kehilangan salah satu bukti luar biasa manusia yang ada di kawasan Kars Maros Pangkep.
01:55Sayang sekali.
01:55Near the Maros Pangkep cave complex, firefighters battled blazes on surrounding hillsides
02:02as smoke billowed across the region's distinctive karst landscape.
02:06Indonesia is facing its most intense forest and land fires in 11 years,
02:12with severe El Nino conditions driving up temperatures and drying out forests and peatlands,
02:18leaving them increasingly vulnerable to fires.
02:20The threat extends beyond the natural environment,
02:24putting irreplaceable evidence of early human history at risk.
02:30Terima kasih.
02:34Terima kasih.
02:36You
