Help stop an uncontacted tribe being wiped out to produce electric car batteries

Dear Jack,

A unique uncontacted tribe could be completely wiped out by a massive Indonesian
project to produce nickel for electric car batteries.

Rainforest inhabited by hundreds of uncontacted Hongana Manyawa people has been
targeted for highly destructive mining, which will devastate the forest – and
the people.

Hugely powerful companies are involved. The Hongana Manyawa desperately need
your support if they’re to survive.

Take action for the Hongana Manyawa now

The vast mining scheme on the island of Halmahera is part of Indonesia’s plan to
become a major producer of electric car batteries – a plan into which Tesla and other companies are pouring billions of dollars. Nickel is currently a key
ingredient of these batteries.

The Hongana Manyawa – which means ‘People of the Forest’ in their own language –
are one of the last nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes in Indonesia.

Take action

They now face the threat of seeing their land, and everything they need to
survive, destroyed by corporations rushing to produce supposedly
climate-friendly cars for people living thousands of miles away.

Please urge Tesla to publicly commit to ensure that none of the minerals they
buy ever comes from the lands of uncontacted Indigenous people in Halmahera, and
let the mining companies, and the Indonesian authorities, know you’ve done so.

Yes, I'll take action!
