Dangerous footage shows uncontacted tribe near nickel mine<\/h3>\n

A dramatic new video has emerged showing people from an uncontacted tribe trying to scare off a bulldozer obliterating their forest home to make way for mines for electric car batteries.<\/p>\n

Carrying bows and spears, the two tribespeople from the Hongana Manyawa tribe confront a giant piece of machinery across a rainforest river.<\/p>\n

The Hongana Manyawa are one of the few uncontacted tribes left on the planet whose people have no connection with the modern world.<\/p>\n

They are highly vulnerable to climate change and can potentially be almost wiped-out by diseases brought in from the outside world they have no immunity to.<\/p>\n

Charity Survival International said the deforestation of their land was to make way to mine nickel to make batteries for the so-called green technology of electric cars.<\/p>\n

The video was filmed on the remote Indonesian island of Halmahera where campaigners have warned a human rights catastrophe is unfolding.<\/p>\n

Callum Russell, Asia Research and Advocacy Officer for Survival International, said the video had been circulating on social media in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

He said: “We know it to directly show two uncontacted members of the uncontacted Hongana Manyawa tribe, directly facing bulldozers in their indigenous territory.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t\u00a0realise this particular part of the forest had been penetrated so much by the logging and the mining companies and we\u2019re extremely worried now that it has.”<\/p>\n

He added: “It’s a really deep irony that most of the mining, that will come after the logging, is happening here because of electric car batteries.<\/p>\n

“Halmahera island has the world\u2019s largest nickel mine, which is used overwhelmingly for electric car batteries.<\/p>\n
