                On December 29, 2025, a conservationist, Sayed Zainal, was observed surveying several areas that had been significantly impacted by flash floods resulting from Tropical Cyclone Senyar in the Lubuk Sidup region, located within the Sekerak Subdistrict of Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh, Indonesia. To date, Tropical Cyclone Senyar 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.
