一项调查报告揭示，大众、福特和特斯拉等西方汽车制造商的电池供应链与印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛的大规模雨林破坏存在关联1。这些电动车制造商的电池可能含有来自苏拉威西岛的镍矿，而这些矿山位于托拉基人的原住民土地上，导致了原始雨林的广泛砍伐1。该分析基于过去两年的企业披露和贸易流向数据1。
苏拉威西岛拥有全球最大的镍矿储备，同时也是重要的野生动物热点地区1。镍被广泛应用于汽车电池的正极材料中，可以提高能量密度并增加车辆续航里程1。
An investigation has connected the battery supplies of major automotive manufacturers to widespread deforestation in Indonesia's Sulawesi island.1 Volkswagen, Ford, and Tesla are among Western carmakers whose batteries may contain nickel sourced from mines on Sulawesi,1 where extraction activities are associated with extensive clearing of primary rainforest.1 These mining operations are located on indigenous Toraja lands,1 raising serious environmental concerns about the sustainability of electric vehicle production.
Sulawesi holds the world's largest nickel reserves and is simultaneously recognized as a wildlife hotspot,1 making the region particularly vulnerable to environmental degradation from mining activities. Nickel is widely utilized in automobile battery cathodes to increase energy density and extend driving range,1 making it a critical material in the global EV supply chain. The analysis underlying these findings draws on corporate disclosures and trade flow data from the past two years.1
