Nickel rush for EVs guts Indonesia tribe’s forest home


Lelilief Sawai (Indonesia) (AFP) – Sitting deep in east Indonesia’s lush jungle, the Hongana Manyawa indigenous tribe once lived in a breathtaking kaleidoscope of nature that provided sanctuary and sustenance. But it is now being eaten away by one of the world’s largest nickel mining projects, as Indonesia seeks to exploit the area’s vast reserves of the metal used in everything from electric vehicles to stainless steel.
