As the largest haul of ivory and rhino horns go up in smoke at the Nairobi National Park this Saturday, one man will be watching the proceedings with a measure of apprehension, wondering if the close to 25,000 pieces of ivory will completely burn to ashes.
This man is Robin Hollister, the ivory burning guru who stood beside President Moi and the then director of Kenya Wildlife Service Dr Richard Leakey on July 18, 1989, the first time for Kenya to burn her ivory in an unprecedented event broadcast all over the world.
