Chinese Firm Mines Gold in DR Congo Heritage Site | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A Chinese firm is mining gold in an endangered UNESCO World Heritage site in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Okapi wildlife reserve in the DRC has been a protected reserve for decades. But a Chinese firm struck a deal with some DRC government officials and got a permit to mine gold in the protected land. The officials redrew the reserve's boundaries to allow the Chinese firm to mine inside the reserve. Locals say that they are suffering because of the Chinese mine, and that the protected area is getting devastated.
