A few days ago President Uhuru Kenyatta set ablaze a three-meter high pile of elephant tusks and rhino horns as part of efforts to curb poaching of the mammals in the country.
The event, which took place at the Nairobi National park, saw over 15 tonnes of ivory burn down to ashes.
The President’s action, which also dealt a major blow to those linking the First family to poaching, has received lots of praises from different organizations across the world.
One such organization is National Geographic which took to social media to applaud the President’s approach in helping curb the poaching menace:
“We admire the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta’s approach in curbing elephant poaching” @natgeoafrica wrote on their twitter timeline:
