Twelve 10-foot high by 12-foot Wide Bonfires - BTR-UR-SELF - 05-01-2016
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta orchestrated the burning of almost 105 tons of elephant ivory and 1.35 tons of rhino horn. Twelve 10-foot high by 12-foot wide bonfires destroyed $172 million of possible profit from illegal poaching. This makes a strong stance of Kenya’s fight against the wipe out of elephant, rhinos, and other animals.
What other measures have been created or tried to stop these crimes?
Does this send a strong enough message?

Not sure how much of a difference it will make, it seems like those rhino horns and elephant ivory could have been used for other things more symbolic than to burn them?
