Abstract
The agriculture, forestry, and land use (AFOLU) sector is Indonesia's largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Within this sector, forest and peatland fires has a major emissions impact. Optimizing fire management requires collaboration among various parties and should address the underlying causes of burning. Scientific media provides insights into important actors, potential causes, and implementation of forest fire control at national and local levels. This research uses discourse analysis to analyze the role of scientific media in providing information regarding forest fires and fire management activities. It finds an inconsistency between scientific articles and observational data. Furthermore, there is a bias in addressing the causes and efforts to control forest fires. National journals indicate that forest and land fire management in Indonesia focus primarily on ecological aspects and do not take into economic factors, despite economic reasons being the most common cause of fires. Keywords: discourse, forest fire, management, scientific media
