Volkswagen, Ford and Tesla are among the electric carmakers whose batteries may contain nickel mined in indigenous woodlands plagued by deforestation, an analysis has found, highlighting the struggle to make vehicles that are free from environmental destruction.(一项分析发现，大众、福特和特斯拉等电动汽车制造商的电池可能含有在饱受森林砍伐困扰的土著林地开采的镍，这凸显了制造不破坏环境的汽车所面临的挑战。)

Corporate disclosures and trade flows from the last two years show mines in the battery supply chains of automotive giants are linked to the loss of trees in Sulawesi, a wildlife hotspot in Indonesia that houses the world’s largest nickel deposits.(过去两年的企业披露和贸易流显示，汽车巨头电池供应链中的矿山与苏拉威西岛的树木损失有关。苏拉威西岛是印度尼西亚的一个野生动物热点地区，拥有世界上最大的镍矿藏。) The metal is widely used in cathodes(阴极) in car batteries because it boosts energy density(能量密度) and increases range.

Ore from the Cahaya and Hengjaya mines was traced through regional smelters and Chinese processing plants run by Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, a cathode manufacturer that supplies CATL, the world’s largest battery maker.(来自卡哈亚和亨贾亚矿山的矿石被追踪到区域冶炼厂和浙江华友钴业运营的中国加工厂。华友钴业是一家阴极制造商，为全球最大的电池制造商宁德时代供货。) Huayou’s corporate reports list US and European carmakers as end-users, while additional corporate files and trade data show a separate route from Huayou to LG, a South Korean group that also supplies battery products to leading carmakers, via Poland.(华友的企业报告将美国和欧洲汽车制造商列为最终用户，而额外的企业文件和贸易数据显示，还有一条从华友经波兰到LG的独立路线，LG是一家韩国集团，也为领先的汽车制造商供应电池产品。)
