Ivory Stockpile

More than 90 per cent of illegal ivory comes from elephants slaughtered for their tusks in the last three years, not from old government stockpiles, according to a new study released Monday.

Close on the heels of Kenya, which recently set on fire over a hundred ton of its ivory stockpile, experts in India are planning a similar provision to destroy the "white gold" to send a strong message against poaching.

Eleven giant pyres of tusks were set alight Saturday as Kenya torched its vast ivory stockpile in a grand gesture aimed at shocking the world into stopping the slaughter of elephants.

Hong Kong plans to destroy 95 percent of one of Asia's major hoards of confiscated ivory, fulfilling a long-standing demand by conservation groups that battle trafficking in the contraband material.
