Abstract: Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest nickel mineral potential in the world with the greatest potential being in the heart of the island of Sulawesi and small islands in the North Maluku archipelago and Southeast Sulawesi. Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Indonesia has at least 72 million Nickel (Ni) reserves, including Limonit1, or 52% of the world's total nickel reserves of 139,419,000 Tons of Ni (Indonesian Nickel Investment Opportunities Booklet, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources , 2020). Therefore, most nickel mining activities are only spread across 4 provinces, which contain 90% of all nickel reserves in Indonesia. 3 provinces are in Sulawesi, namely Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi, as well as 1 province in Maluku, namely North Maluku. nickel mining, and the impact of nickel mining activities in Sulawesi. Previously, we will explain the whys and whys of policy directions related to nickel resources in Sulawesi in national and global development. This brief paper departs from experiences in Sulawesi in advocating for environmental sustainability and its impact on the lives of people in rural areas. Ambition to make Indonesia the number one battery producer in the world. To achieve such big ambitions, the Indonesian Government continues to boost the growth of the nickel mining industry, starting from upstream to downstream.
