The Kenyan government set fire to 105 tons of ivory and 1.35 tons of rhino horn in the largest-ever destruction of its kind Saturday in Nairobi National Park. A number of African leaders, conservation bigwigs, business moguls and even Hollywood celebrities attended the star-studded event. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who lit the 11 towering pyres, said he intended to send a message that the East African nation does not tolerate wildlife poaching.
