Why to recycle
your used cell phones? Did you know this? -
Gorillas
suffer for cell phones
|
|
 |
Cell phones are in hot demand and as the
demand increases, so does the impact on gorillas habitat in the Congo.
How are
gorillas and cell phones linked?
-
Cell phones contain a rare ore called
Coltan used as a semiconductor. This metal if found in Africa.
Increased mining operations means habitat loss and increased hunting
pressure on gorillas an other wildlife.
-
Wildlife Reserves suffer most from
mining. Two World Heritage sites, Kahuzi-Biega National Park and
Okapi Wildlife Reserve, have suffered the most damage from mining.
-
Coltan mining has helped fund the
on-going war in the region.
-
Cell phone popularity over the past
five years induced a flood of more than 10,000 illegal miners into
the "protected" parks. Needing food, they have hunted gorillas an
elephants to near extinction in these areas.
What can you Do To Help?
-
Recycle Your Old Cell Phone!
The US is home to more then 150 million cell phone users (and
growing fast). More then 100 million cell phones are thrown away, or
stuffed in a drawer, each year. If fewer new phones need to be
produced, there will be less impact on gorilla's habitat.
-
3 billion cell phones world wide, less
than 1% is getting recycled.
