Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

On December 16, 2025, in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia. Livestock lost their food source in areas covered in mud following the catastrophic flash floods triggered by Tropical Cyclone Senyar. Amidst the ruins, survivors collect timber transported from the highlands—a grim harvest from the upstream Leuser Ecosystem. Rudi Putra, environmentalist and founder of the Leuser Conservation Forum (FKL), warns that this disaster is not an isolated event but a symptom of the "6th Extinction" phase. Analysing the decadal climate cycle, Putra highlights a terrifying escalation: the scale of flood destruction is now a direct reflection of the vanishing "Heart of the World."
