Coltan is indispensable for the manufacturing of electronic capacitors, used in consumer electronic products such as cell phones and computers. Mining coltan brings about large-scale destruction of the rainforest.
Twenty-eight teenage students participated in this project commissioned by OroVerde, Tropical Forest Foundation.
