    • A study by the Economics and Environment Program of South East Asia (EEPSEA) and the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WFF) estimate that regional economies in total suffered over US$1.3 billion losses for health, tourism and airlines because of the fires in 1997. The main loser was Indonesia itself with some US$1 billion. This was followed by Malaysia (US$310 million) and Singapore (US$62.5 million). These estimates do not include losses from forest and plantation products. Nor are global losses such as climate change gases and biodiversity included. Longer term health effects have also not been calculated. The estimate should therefore be seen as preliminary, likely to be on the lower side.

    • Fires in 1998 have ravaged the biodiversity rich Bukit Suharto area and Kuti National Park in Kalimantan, Indonesia. One third of Kuti has been burnt. Indonesia is estimated to have 10 per cent of all known plants in the world, one-eighth of all animals and one-sixth of all birds, reptiles and amphibians. It is considered one of the 12 "mega-biodiverse" countries in the world. The effects of the fire have yet to be fully measured, but it is already apparent that flora and fauna, and eco-systems have suffered. The fires have razed protected areas and reserves in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Scientists already indicate that rare bird species and animals like the endangered Sumatran tiger and orang utan have been badly affected.

    • Some have suggested that the main causes of the fires are land clearing by small-scale indigenous farmers, using traditional slash-and-burn methods of farming. Indonesian officials have also claimed that the El Nino weather phenomena is to blame. Clearly these are contributing factors, especially the latter. Indonesian reports however admitted that some 80 per cent of the forest fires in 1997 are attributable to land clearing by large plantation owners. Satellite images have pin-pointed land clearing by fire on oil palm plantations and on timber concessions, after the valuable timber has been extracted. Some 180 companies were named as being involved in 1997, of which five have only recently begun to face prosecution by Indonesian governmental agencies: "5 Firms to be sued over fires" The Straits Times 25 April 1998.

    • The prohibition of any development to the forest and lands would, arguably, run counter to the idea of sustainable development. This is the concept of a balance between environmental conservation and economic development that was the central theme to the UN Conference on Environment and Development, and the earlier "Brundtland Report" - World Commission on Environment and Development Our Common Future (Oxford University Press, Oxford: 1987). The term lacks precision in practice. But the tenets of sustainable development point us to the idea that development of such lands is permissible, provided that its negative effects are ameliorated. Chief of these ill-effects would be the use of fires that cause the haze pollution.

    • International assistance could of course be sought to compensate for the additional costs of prioritising degraded land for development. For conservation areas, such as rainforests and peat bog swamps, a range of techniques may be considered to allow the international community to bear part of the costs of conservation, such as debt for nature swaps, and bio-prospecting agreements.

    • in Philippe Sands (ed) Earthscan, London: at
    • Principle 21 of the Stockholm Declaration, note 12, is said by many environmentalists to represent customary international law. The principle recognises the sovereignty of states but balances this with their responsibility to "ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction". Following Principle 21, leading bodies of international lawyers, such as the Institut de droit international, have adopted resolutions or other statements that assert State obligations on transboundary pollution. Principle 21 may seem to be "hard" law, reassuring to some lawyers amidst the declarations of "soft" law and emerging principles that characterise so much of the environmental arena. Moves which may dilute the legal characteristics of Principle 21 are accordingly criticised. For example, its reiteration in Principle 2 of the Rio Declaration, note 11, has been said to be "a skilfully masked step backwards": Marc Pallemaerts "International Environmental Law From Stockholm to Rio: Back to the Future 1. " in Philippe Sands (ed) Greening International Law (Earthscan, London: 1994) 1 at 5.

    • Note
    • It is true of course that the fires take place on sovereign soil. If their transboundary effect could be controlled, then Indonesia would be free to use fires. If that is however not possible, then the fires - as much as the haze they cause - are of legitimate regional and global concern. In contrast, while land use in Indonesia may contribute or indeed be the root cause of the fires and haze, Indonesia's land use policies may be considered an internal matter. This is because land use and conversion may be achieved without the use of fire or causing haze.

Other needs recognised by the Strategy Plan are to foster government and private sector interactions; strengthen institutional and legal capacities; to establish a regional framework on biological diversity conservation and sustainable use; to promote the protection of coastal rones and marine resources; and to promote environmentally sound management of toxic chemicals and hazardous wastes and a system for promoting environmentally sound technologies.

    • Note
    • The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, Mexico and the USA takes a similar approach, thereby avoiding the need to harmonise limits. The OECD Council Recommendations on Principles Concerning Transfrontier Pollution uses a "principle of non-discrimination" by which states control their transboundary pollution to the same standards as applicable to similar pollution within their borders, and allow private plaintiffs access to their courts for redress, no matter where the damage is suffered.

    • "Rehabilitating interstate competition: Re-thinking the 'race to the bottom' rationale for federal environmental regulation"
    • The literature on environmental effects on economic investment and industry migration is mixed. Many theorise that there is a race to the bottom in standards to attract foreign investment and trade. Others argue that the actual cost increase from environmental standards is small and do not determine investment decisions, which are based on a much wider consideration of competitiveness. See Richard L. Revesz "Rehabilitating Interstate Competition: Re-Thinking the 'Race to the Bottom' Rationale for Federal Environmental Regulation" (1992) 67 New York University Law Review 1210.

They have pledged to raise money to place in a trust in the Cook Islands for these purposes. As at the time of writing, however, they have not raised funds nor begun fire-fighting, beyond a few sorties in Brunei
