Burning the ivory: imagine a world without elephants

Imagine elephants, lions and tigers becoming mythical figures of fairy tales? Well we are on the brink of that.
An inventory of stocks of ivory held in museums is being made  before stock is burnt. At the demand of the Minister of Ecology several dozens of cases are set to be destroyed. Ivory entering the country illicitly   from 1987 to 2007 will be burnt. All to discourage the hunting of elephants who are in danger of disappearing.  thank heavens a stand is being made, hopefully not too late.
