A Chinese mining company’s operations within the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are raising serious concerns about the potential environmental and ecological damage.
The reserve, known for its unique biodiversity and endangered species like the okapi, is facing threats from deforestation, pollution, and increased human activity.
The mining operations are encroaching on protected areas and disrupting the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
Environmental activists and conservationists are urging the Congolese government to take immediate action to protect the reserve and hold the mining company accountable for any environmental damage.
The international community should also play a role in supporting conservation efforts and ensuring that the mining industry operates responsibly and sustainably.
