Storify: Kenyan government takes elephant lives by the tusks with historic burnings

Every 15 minutes, an elephant is hunted and killed for its tusks, fastracking the creature to extinction. Beyond preserving the species for the enjoyment of future generations, the Kenyan government has also realized that elephants provide the country with substantial tourism revenue. But for the Kenyans, the money is meaningless. Many Kenyan nationals believe that elephants are indispensible to their land and therefore should be preserved.
