Our current hardware technology used to unite us all through cell phones, satellites, and computers depend on the minerals and crystals that come from one central African region – with the Congo at its heart. This expansive biologically features protected national parks such as Virunga, home to one of the last remaining groups of mountain gorillas and certain great apes left on our planet.
More than 70% of the world’s cobalt, one of the most in-demand minerals, is produced in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). While we frequently squabble over resources that are found and resourced in many parts of the globe, this presents us with a unique and centralized opportunity to look at exactly what is happening and co-create cooperative solutions moving forward.
