VW, Ford and Tesla batteries linked to deforestation of indigenous lands
Original: Revealed: VW, Ford and Tesla batteries linked to destructive deforestation of indigenous lands https://www. theguardian.
A Guardian investigation has linked battery supply chains for Volkswagen, Ford and Tesla to destructive deforestation on indigenous lands, tying the mining of raw materials for electric vehicles to environmental damage in areas inhabited by indigenous communities. Commenters are sharing the findings widely, with many highlighting the irony that clean-energy vehicles may rely on supply chains that harm forests and indigenous people.
Why now: The report challenges the image of electric vehicles as environmentally clean and raises concerns about mining practices in indigenous territories.
