In reply to:
I am also reminded of a huge cache of confiscated ivory being burned in Kenya (?) in the late '80's or early '90's but I can not clearly remember the reason why they did not auction it off. I know it is off topic so I'll post the question in the Africa section. Maybe someone knows the answer as well as the effect it had on future poaching activity.
A political media stunt. It was probably done at a time when there may have been discussions on re-opening ivory trade by countries which have actual and real conservation programmes, unlike Kenya. The fact the previous President's daugher ran the biggest ivory poaching ring is quite relevant.
