Statistics Program – V5 Deforestration on Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) in North Maluku

Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP) is designed to be an integrated industrial complex focusing on mining, refining, and processing nickel and cobalt ores. The industrial park is expected to have a total investment of approximately USD 11 billion and cover an area of around 5,000 hectares. The project is expected to include nickel smelters, stainless steel plants, and other related industries. It is expected to provide job opportunities and contribute to the development of the region’s economy.

The project is also designed with a focus on environmental sustainability, with plans to utilize advanced technologies for waste treatment and minimize the environmental impact of the project. The Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park is expected to play a significant role in Indonesia’s industrial development and its contribution to the global nickel and stainless steel industry.

However, developing this industrial area requires extensive land clearing, causing deforestation in the primary forest of Maluku Island. Since 1999 mining has entered, and in 2017 industrial area development activities began in the southeastern coastal region of Maluku Island, and current industrial activity operations are still being detected by deforestation through satellite imagery.

Long life research Indonesia!
