Indonesia's the top nickel producer in the world.
However, traditional farming areas have been replaced with nickel mining.
This has polluted the surrounding sea which has turned red.
There's high demand for this metal, which is essential for electric vehicle batteries.
Due to this high demand, companies are clearing and mining farming areas in Sulawesi.
This shift in the economy is a major threat to families who rely on selling cloves, like Royani.
Local people are fighting for their land.
But, they're pushing back against powerful economic powers.
Wealthy countries, like China and South Korea, alongside car company Tesla and Brazilian mining company Vale, have already begun mining and processing nickel in Sulawesi.
The environmental effects on the local villages are clear to villager Guntur.
Rainwater from the mines runs into the sea and turns it red.
This polluted water kills the fish population which the local people rely on for food.
The problem seems unlikely to end soon, as Indonesian President Joko Widodo's aim is for the country to achieve developed nation status.
This suggests that the mining will continue.
