Transboundary haze pollution continues to pose a major regional environmental issue in Southeast Asia member countries like Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia and to a lesser extent, Southern Thailand.

Previous data and satellite images of peatland fires, illegal logging and deforestation induced by land cleaning efforts in rural and agricultural areas of Kalimantan, Sumatra and Riau, Indonesia by local and international agribusinesses remain the main cause of haze in this region.
