Confiscated elephant ivory tusks are pictured on the floor of the rescue center at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife center in Quezon city, metro Manila June 14, 2013. According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), it intends to destroy five tons of confiscated elephant ivory tusks, estimated to be worth roughly 420 million pesos ($9.7 million), by crushing it with a road roller and having them burnt in the presence of foreign experts and anti-ivory trade advocates on June 21 at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in Quezon City. According to DENR Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje, the destruction of the ivory tusks is to show that the Philippines will not tolerate illegal wildlife trade.
