Kenya Will Burn Over $100 Million in Ivory

Kenyan authorities will burn more than 100 tons of illegally obtained elephant tusks and ivory, worth more than $100 million, in an effort to combat poaching.

The stockpile, from all across Kenya, includes 105 tons of elephant ivory, 1.35 tons of rhino horn, exotic animal skins and other exotic materials confiscated by the Kenyan government, according to CNN. Kenya first began burning illegal ivory in 1989 and the burn on Saturday is the largest one in history.
