Gorillas on the Line is an e-gadget recycling program designed to raise funds for gorilla conservation and increase public awareness of threats to gorillas; namely, loss of habitat from the mining of resources used to manufacture of electronics.
Over the past 20 years, the cell phone market has boomed while Grauer’s gorillas have suffered. The wild population has declined by 77% and only 3,800 gorillas now remain. But you can help by replacing your phone and other small electronics only when necessary and recycling your electronics when it’s time for a replacement.
JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE-Why did we choose ECO-CELL? "Electronic recycling is a complicated industry and only a company with the right motivations and practices could align with JGI's mission to protect chimpanzees, and all great apes, as well as the environment we share."
CINCINNATI ZOO- A direct way for guests and supporters to join the Zoo in making a difference by recycling cell phones. Funds raised go directly to field conservation projects across the globe, including western lowland gorilla studies in the Congo.
