An aerial view shows continuing preparations around illegal stockpiles of ivory stacked up onto 10 individual pyres on April 27, 2017 in Nairobi's national park as they wait to be burned, in what is said to be the biggest stockpile destruction in history.
Kenya on April 30, 2016 will burn approximately 105 tonnes of confiscated ivory, almost all of the country's total stockpile at an event attended by several African heads of state, conservation experts, high-profile philanthropists and celebrities which they hope will send a strong anti-poaching message. / AFP PHOTO / TONY KARUMBA
