- AMPLIFYING IPLC VOICES IN THE NICKEL MINING DISCOURSE IN INDONESIA - WITH ALMOST 60% OF THE WORLD'S NICKEL RESERVES, INDONESIA IS AT THE CENTER OF THE GLOBAL COMPETITION FOR CRITICAL MINERALS. WHILE ALL THAT NICKEL WILL HELP USHER IN A NEW ERA OF CLEANER ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION, OUT OF SIGHT, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BEARING AN ENORMOUS COST TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION POSSIBLE. NICKEL EXTRACTION IS A VIOLENT PROCESS THAT EXACTS MASSIVE COSTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THE MINES. WHILE THERE IS GROWING AWARENESS OF THE ECOLOGICAL AND HEALTH DAMAGE WROUGHT BY CRITICAL RESOURCE MINING, KEY VOICES ARE TOO OFTEN MISSING FROM THE DISCOURSE. MINING COMPANIES, THE GOVERNMENT, AND EVEN AUTOMAKERS HAVE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE IN SHAPING THE NARRATIVES, PARTICULARLY IN THE NEWS MEDIA, AROUND NICKEL MINING IN INDONESIA. RARELY, THOUGH, DO THE PERSPECTIVES OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE CLOSEST TO THE MINES RECEIVE MEANINGFUL COVERAGE. THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO CHANGE.Expenses $109,885
