Our Projects
PM.Haze’s projects include a peatland restoration programme and a yearly youth expedition, RE.Peat. Our peatland restoration programme is a long-term solution to prevent haze, by reducing the risk of fires through rewetting the peatlands and revegetation with native tree species, following the 5Rs approach to peatland restoration. RE.Peat equips youth with the knowledge and skills needed to become forest stewards and advocates for the protection of peatlands.
We need your support for our projects, which run long-term. Join us as volunteers or donate to our cause!
What is Haze?
The haze is a phenomenon caused by the visible accumulation of smoke, dust and particulate matter in the air. When haze disperses from its source from one country to another, it becomes transboundary haze pollution.
The Issue
Unsustainable development and exploitation of peatlands causes the landscape to become dry and exposed, increasing the risk of fires. Fires can be caused by both natural and man-made reasons. Burning of peatlands, worsened by dry weather conditions, is the main cause of transboundary haze in Singapore. Smoke particles and toxic gases present in the haze can cause health problems, especially in vulnerable groups of people.
Our Mission
Our mission is to drive a movement to stop the haze by empowering village communities to restore peatlands and develop sustainable livelihoods, and steer consumption towards sustainable palm oil and paper.
