Moa is an industrial city in southeastern Cuba, named after an extinct bird species. It is located in the northwest of Holguín Province, near the border with Guantanamo Province. Its main economic activity is nickel mining, making it the primary nickel-producing area in Cuba.

As the sixth largest nickel producer in the world, Moa is an important exporter of this metal element, serving as a vital economic source for Cuba. However, the extraction and processing of nickel have had a certain impact on the local natural environment and water sources, necessitating further environmental improvement.
