A male miner walks through floodwaters around the nickel industrial area owned by Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) in Weda Bay, on Halmahera Island, North Maluku, Indonesia, on August 13, 2024. Massive forest destruction occurs for the surrounding community, including the indigenous Maluku tribe, who have protected the forest.
