Sabre calls up support for the gorillas

Saturday, 11 Oct, 2011 0

Sabre Travel Network, in conjunction with the Jane Goodall Institute, has launched a national competition encouraging Sabre staff and customers in Australia and New Zealand to donate their old mobile phones to help save Africa’s dwindling primate populations.

“The mining of coltan – a metallic mineral used in mobile phones – in the Congo River Basin is causing Eastern gorillas to disappear at an alarmingly fast rate,” said Sabre Pacific CEO, Gai Tyrrell.

“By recycling mobile phones, Sabre employees and our customers will help to reduce the international demand for coltan while raising money to support vital primate conservation work.”

Those interested need to register a team of between one to six people, collect as many phones as possible and send them in to Sabre.

The team that collects the most mobile phones by October 24 will win a behind-the-scenes experience at an Australian zoo of their choice.
