The fight against ivory trade will get a boost on April 30 with President Uhuru Kenyatta scheduled to set ablaze 100 tonnes of ivory worth billions of shillings.
The event, which is to be marked at the Nairobi National Park, is aimed at showing Kenya’s commitment to wildlife protection and especially to elephants which have been targeted for their ivory.
