In Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, on December 16, 2025, Indonesian National Army personnel participate in the recovery process 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, an 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. Analyzing the decadal climate cycle, Putra highlights a terrifying escalation: the scale of flood destruction now directly reflects the vanishing ''Heart of the World.''
