"As countries work to achieve their renewable energy goals, the need for minerals, especially nickel, has greatly increased. Experts from Indonesia's Forest Watch and the Search Coalition said Indonesia, the largest producer of nickel in the world, has seen significant deforestation as a result. In the last four years, more than 50,000 hectares of forests have been cleared in areas where nickel is mined, particularly in eastern parts of the country."
