Jane Goodall's Mobile Phone Recycling Program

YOU ARE IN: Home Page > Blog > Jane Goodall's Mobile Phone Recycling Program

You can now help save Gorilla's and Chimpanzees in Africa simply by donating your mobile phone! Each time your mobile phone rings, a tiny piece of metallic ore from Africa is making this call possible: coltan. The mining of this commodity within the Congo River Basin is contributing to forest loss and unrest in the region, and is accelerating the loss of Eastern gorillas at an alarmingly fast rate.

By donating your phone through our mobile phone recycling program you are:

 

  • Diverting your phone from landfill
  • Helping raise money to support the Jane Goodall Institute's primate conservation work in Africa through the sale of refurbished phones and...
  • Lessening the demand for coltan mining by providing the coltan chip in your old mobile phone a second life.
