As I report for The Times on Tuesday, the
Democratic Republic of Congo and the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (supplied in part with some some conservation money from the United States government) are establishing an 11,803 - square - mile preserve that is
aimed at protecting a substantial population
of the apes, along with other rare wildlife.
Initial company reports submitted under a landmark U.S. law that
aims to stop the minerals trade fuelling violence in eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are disappointing, warns Global Witness.
