Demand for mobiles phones
Increased demand for columbite-tantalite (CT)
Groups from neighboring countries fight to control CT supplies in the Dem. Rep. Of Congo (DRC)
Land cleared to make mining easier, leading to destruction of natural habitat
Local population forced off land to allow mining to take place
Farmers no longer able to grow food, so look for alternative food supplies and work
Gorillas either killed for meat or leave because their habitat has disappeared
Money from CT finances militia in Uganda and Rwanda, as well as in DRC
Opportunity to make lots of money decreases chance of peace, and increases conflict
Continued fighting in DRC, Uganda and Rwanda
