Sailing Into Environmental Chaos: The Hidden Cost of Nickel Mining in Sulawesi Indonesia - Ep 118

In this eye-opening episode, we sail from Lasusua to Tepeo through a remote and rarely visited stretch of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Here we anchor beside shocking environmental destruction caused by unregulated nickel mining. As we navigate these little-known waters, we uncover widespread damage to the rainforest and marine ecosystems, offering a raw and unfiltered look at the environmental cost hidden behind remote beauty. This episode is a must-watch for sailing enthusiasts, travellers exploring South East Asia, and anyone concerned about the impact of industrial activity on fragile natural environments. Join us as we document this powerful journey and raise awareness about the urgent need for environmental protection in one of Indonesia's most remote coastal regions. During our first three weeks sailing the coast of Sulawesi we met many, many beautiful, welcoming people and saw nothing but the unbelievable beauty of Sulawesi, the world's eleventh largest island, but this stop was truly distressing.
