In 2016, Kenya destroyed over 100 tonnes of Ivory & 1tonne of rhino horns ,this gesture was to demonstrate that ivory has no intrinsic value but to be on elephants .The message was very strong to the ivory markets who have caused a huge appetite causing a huge elephant slaughter.

The name Ivory was populated or made popular during the hunting period otherwise elephant has tusk. We use Ivory to reach out to the people /community who are still stuck in the ivory business . (Photo credit) @kwskenya @Min_TourismKE @AnnSchroederWi2

Other areas included Ruaha National Park & Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, and Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. In Ruaha, for example, researchers have found tusklessness in about 35 percent of elephants 25 years or older.@elephantNcenter @DanielKiprutto @Desiree_Laverne

Tusks are teeth, incisors made of dentin. (Ivory is a variety of dentin.) They grow in after the first year and the loss of baby teeth. Some elephants have only one tusk; they are either born that way or lose a tusk at some point during their lives. (Photo credit)@elephantNcenter
