Tesla and Musk to boycott a Russian mining company until it met specific ecologically-sound conditions. Nornickel was recognized as an international leader in nickel production but is “also a global leader in environmental pollution.”
Mining in South Sulawesi province demonstrates how nickel mining leads to serious environmental damages.

Approximately 673,246 hectares of forest area in Indonesia have been granted to nickel mining corporations that will potentially lead to deforestation. Deforestation and forest degradation are prominent indicators of the loss of natural resources which cause a decline in the quality of human life and climate changes.
