How a race for electric vehicles threatens a marine paradise Photographs appear to show how nickel mining damaged one the world's most diverse marine environments

This is appalling.

Sorry to add to the already mountainous pile of bad news these days.

[10/10] Un audit externe est prévu pour 2026. En attendant, les ONG comme Survival International dénoncent un risque de génocide des peuples non contactés. Cette affaire illustre les contradictions entre extractivisme, transition énergétique et justice environnementale. #geography #nickelmining

[9/10] En 2024, WBN a généré 386 millions d’euros de bénéfices pour ses actionnaires. Mais pour les habitants, la ruée vers le nickel est un désastre écologique. Le chrome 6, le mercure et le plomb rendent l’eau impropre à la consommation. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[8/10] Le gisement Weda Bay alimente la production mondiale de batteries pour voitures électriques. Eramet le présente comme un pilier de la transition verte, mais les pratiques sur place remettent en cause cette promesse de durabilité. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[7/10] Eramet affirme ne pas avoir de rôle décisionnaire, mais deux cadres dirigeants de WBN sont issus de sa filiale au Gabon. Après les révélations, ils ont été démis de leurs fonctions le 7 mai 2025, signe du pouvoir réel d’Eramet dans la gestion. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[6/10] Les serveurs informatiques ont été rendus inaccessibles après les signalements. Un climat de peur s’est installé sur le site, où la direction aurait saisi les ordinateurs du personnel pour effacer ou contrôler les preuves de pollution. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[5/10] Selon Henrik, ex-employé d’Eramet, 15 rivières seraient contaminées par des métaux lourds et du cyanure. En 2021, WBN a reçu un bulletin rouge des autorités indonésiennes pour mauvaise gestion environnementale. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[4/10] Les lanceurs d’alerte décrivent une stratégie de dissimulation : accidents non déclarés, données environnementales falsifiées, décès camouflés. Plusieurs anciens employés accusent WBN d’avoir manipulé les inspections internes d’Eramet. #geography #resourceextraction #nickelmining

[3/10] L’activité minière a doublé la population locale avec 50.000 employés. Les habitants, comme Abdallah, dénoncent la pollution constante des rivières, la poussière omniprésente et l’impact sanitaire. Des tribus isolées sont aussi menacées de disparition. #geography #nickelmining

[2/10] Située sur l’île d’Halmahera, la mine Weda Bay couvre 45.000 ha. Depuis l’arrivée du groupe chinois Tsingshan en 2017, l’extraction s’est intensifiée. #Indonésie est devenue en 2023 le 1er producteur mondial de nickel, avec 55 % de la production globale. #geography #nickelmining
