105 tonnes of ivory and 1.5 tonnes of rhino horns worth billions of shillings have started arriving at the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) headquarters in Nairobi ahead of a planned destruction on April 30.

KWS director general Kitili Mbathi told the Business Daily that Kenya’s planned burning was a clarion call to the entire world that commercial trade on ivory, rhino horns among other game trophies must be banned to save them from extinction.
