"GOD'S IVORY"

NAIROBI, KENYA, JULY 2011: Inside the Ivory strongroom underneath the Kenya Wildlife Service HQ in Nairobi, Kenya. According to the Director of KWS, Julius Kipnegitch, they have around 65 tons of Ivory in storage, some from illegal ivory busts, some from natural mortality in Kenyan elephants. Kenya has a strong public anti-trade stance on ivory trading and claims to have other plans for its ivory, including possibly using it in a wildlife museum setting. There is some scepticism about this from conservationists, given the ongoing decimation of Kenya's elephant population.
