Today’s Solutions: April 06, 2025

Kenya has burned 105 tons of ivory from 8,000 elephants and 300 rhinos, the biggest ever stockpile burn, in a bid to send a message to poachers and ivory traders. President Uhuru Kenyatta said that Kenya will call for a global ban on ivory sales at an international wildlife summit in South Africa later this year. In China, which is largely blamed for fuelling the market in ivory trinkets and jewelry, the event was trailed on big screens set up in a big square in Shanghai and live streamed on the Internet. Each year, between 20,000 and 33,000 elephants in Africa are thought to be lost to poaching, which is driven by a mainly Chinese market for their tusks to be carved into trinkets and jewelry.
