Mining in a protected Congo wildlife reserve harms environment, despite company's legal claims.
Chinese mining operations by Kimia Mining in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve, a protected UNESCO site in the Democratic Republic of Congo, are causing significant environmental damage, including deforestation and pollution.
Though mining is prohibited in protected areas, the company claims it operates legally with permits until 2048.
The reserve, home to endangered species like the okapi, faces threats from mining activities, which locals and conservationists say are harming the ecosystem.
An internal government memo suggests all companies in the reserve will be shut down, but no timeline is set.
