In Thailand, during the haze season, the Pakanyo tribe in northern Thailand continues the traditional practice of controlled burns to prepare land for planting, contributing to the region's severe air pollution. Despite efforts by the government and local communities to address the issue, factors like cultural practices, burning of agricultural stubble, and lack of alternatives pose challenges. The government has implemented measures such as a zero-burning policy and an app for fire registration, but the persistent pollution highlights the complexity of addressing the problem effectively.
