Want to help and protect okapi? Recycle your old cell phones. They contain coltan a mineral mined in the forests that okapi call home. Recycling your phones means less mining in the forest and more room for them to roam. Makemba thanks you! CZS.org/AdoptOkapi #WorldOkapiDay | Brookfield Zoo Chicago

You can help wild okapi populations just by recycling your old phone! The Sacramento Zoo has partnered with Ecocell to recycle old phones, phone accessories, mp3 players, cords, digital cameras, and airpods. Recycling these materials allows for minerals inside, such as coltan, to be reused. These minerals are mined from the rainforests wild okapi call home, and reusing these materials reduces the need for mining in these areas.
