Species around the world are being
threatened by human activity. Lamentably, hundreds of
of creatures have already become
as the result of humans' ever-increasing demands on Earth's
. Gold mining in a national park in the Democratic Republic of Congo is putting at
an animal called the okapi. The park is called the Okapi Wildlife Reserve. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The okapi is also called the
giraffe as it is a
of the giraffe. However, its neck is nowhere
as long as that of a giraffe's. It is also known as the zebra giraffe due to its striped
legs. The okapi is only found in the
of Congo that is being mined.
