What happened
A super El Nino is causing extreme heat and drought across multiple regions, including Indonesia, the Amazon, and Asia. Wildfires in Indonesia have burned 2.2 million acres this season, destroying orangutan habitat. Researchers project that the extreme heat could lead to over 450,000 excess deaths globally in the coming months.
