Six reservoirs (embung) have been constructed in the Sungai Rumbia 2 Estate of PT Gunung Mas Raya, covering a total area of 3,780 m² with a combined water storage capacity of 5,910 m³. These reservoirs serve as water catchment areas designed to collect and store rainwater during the wet season while also helping to control flooding during periods of heavy rainfall. The stored water plays an important role in maintaining the moisture of the surrounding peatland. Beyond water conservation, the reservoirs also support peatland fire prevention and control efforts. By maintaining peat moisture, they help reduce the risk of fires, while also acting as firebreaks and providing a reliable water source for firefighting when needed. Educating field workers, smallholders and local communities is also critical to our fire-risk management strategy. Without clear understanding of the risks and consequences for both the environment and plantations, other measures like our digital notification system would be far less effective. Since 2016, we have implemented community collaboration programmes to enhance local capacity and knowledge for fire prevention, engaging a total of 130 local villages. In March 2025, Indonesian regulations on fire prevention in plantations were tightened, requiring formal fire management plans, dedicated fire brigades, and integration of modern monitoring technologies. IndoAgri has fully implemented all required measures and is in full compliance with the updated standards. In 2025, our monitoring across estates and surrounding areas recorded a total of 812 hotspot notifications. These alerts led to 147 fire incidents, with only 130 occurring within our estate boundaries. To enhance prevention, we constructed an additional 12 fire towers during the year.
