Forest fires: Dried-out forests and drained peat lands have been burning for several months this year, leaving the country smothered in a haze of orange smoke. (Photo: Ardiles Rante/Greenpeace.)

Smoking gun: Greenpeace observers found new oil-palm seedlings planted in freshly burnt lands, demonstrating the connection between the fires and the deforestation for palm oil plantations.

Desert bloom: The unusually strong El Niño of 2015–2016 will affect precipitation patterns around the world, leading to crop failures in some regions and blooming deserts in others.
