              On December 29, 2025. Military personnel, residents, and the Danantara team are seen during the recovery process of a destroyed bridge following devastating flash floods triggered by Tropical Cyclone Senyar, which destroyed key infrastructure along the Lubuk Sidup River in Sekerak Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh, Indonesia. To date, the cyclone has claimed the lives of at least 1,167 people across Indonesia and more than 1,400 victims in three countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with losses estimated at US$19.8 billion. This disruption of vital access routes highlights a growing trend of environmental disasters that increasingly threaten the fragile Leuser Ecosystem, as emphasised by Sayed Zainal, Director of the Sustainable Forest Advocacy Institute.
