Indonesian Nickel Mining Industry - Weda Bay - Halmahera Island
A brown river is suspected of being polluted by mining waste from upstream around the nickel industrial area owned by Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) in Weda Bay, on Halmahera Island, North Maluku, Indonesia, on August 15, 2024. Massive forest destruction occurs for the surrounding community, including the indigenous Maluku tribe who protect the forest. Indonesia becomes the largest nickel ore miner and contributes to the world's largest battery technology market. (Photo by Muhammad Fauzy/NurPhoto)
