5. I find it devastating that we can not protect these gorillas
If I thought for one minute that tossing my cell phone would make the difference, I would do so. The answer lies with habitat protection and enforcing anti-poaching laws. Protected tourism could garner the country every bit the $$ that these other pursuits do and sustain the resources. But, the Congo needs sustainable, effective government, first. Will throwing away my cell phone lead to that?
