Indonesia Nickel Industry

The family life of Mr. Samsir Lawedi, a native of Kawasi village, stops fishing in 2020 because there are no more fish around the coast of Kawasi village. On September 3, 2024, in Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, Indonesia, he cannot fish using nets on the beach because it is polluted by nickel industrial waste flowing into the sea. Now Mr. Samsir switches to construction work to support his family. The presence of mining damages the marine ecosystem, mangroves, and the coast. (Photo by Muhammad Fauzy/NurPhoto)
