| Coltan Mining and Eastern Congo's Gorillas | |
Abstract/OtherAbstract
:
|
In May of 2001, thousands of gorillas and elephants were being killed in the Eastern Congo by illegal miners for food, as they mined coltan ores (or coloumbo-tantalite) used for tantalum in electronics such as cell phones and computers. This site offers a radio broadcast describing the problem and a transcript of an update that the problem had subsided due to decreased global demand and price for coltan. The broadcast is 8 minutes and 45 seconds in length. Educational levels: General public |
