Conservation officials look on as they burn 2.5 tonnes of seized ivory and rhino horn in Maputo, July 6, 2015. Mozambique burned the haul as part of a campaign to end an illicit trade that is fueling a wave of big animal poaching in Africa, a conservation group said. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said in a statement that over 2,400 kgs (5,280 lbs) of ivory and 86 pieces of rhino horn weighing 193.5 kgs were put to the torch, in the first major destruction of rhino horn ever.
