The Hongana Manyawa people, of Halmahera island, face genocide threats due to nickel mining for electric vehicle batteries, compromising their forest home and existence.
Survival International asserts the urgent need for recognition and demarcation of the Hongana Manyawa's territory amidst escalating nickel mining, which threatens their survival.
