IN PHOTOS: THE LARGEST BURNING OF IVORY IN HISTORY

by The Daily Eye Team May 4 2016, 6:37 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 26 secs

Kenya torched 105 tons of ivory worth an estimated $105 million over the weekend in a bid to highlight the impact of poaching. Eleven piles of ivory, representing the tusks of more than 6,700 elephants, were reduced to ashes on Saturday in the largest ivory burn ever seen.
The burn marked the close of the Giant's Club summit of African leaders which began in Nanyuki, central Kenya, at which the country's president, Uhuru Kenyatta, urged his counterparts to help save elephants and rhinos from extinction.
