Help save gorillas – recycle your old electronics! 🦍♻️📱

Join our Gorillas on the Line campaign and make a real impact for wild gorillas and their habitats by donating old cell phones and small electronics: bit.ly/49jYWk7

📅 Cell Phone Saturdays return starting May 30 (10 AM – 2 PM)!
Bring your old devices to the recycling box near the gorilla habitat and receive a special keepsake from our gorillas as a thank-you.

🦍 Enjoy keeper chats, fun activities, and learn more about our incredible troop! Each chat includes exclusive trading cards featuring a different gorilla - collect them all while supplies last.

🌍 Why it matters:
Many electronics contain coltan, a mineral used in device production. About 80% of the world’s supply comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, home to endangered gorillas. Mining can contribute to habitat loss, and recycling old electronics helps recover materials and support conservation efforts that protect gorilla habitats.
