In the heart of the Congo Basin, global thirst for steel has driven miners to a vast, remote forest landscape called Tridom (Tri-national Dja-Odzala-Minkébé), which holds one of the largest untapped iron reserves on earth.

The iron mines promise jobs, infrastructure and new revenues, but can benefits be balanced with impacts?
