Guards in a truck full of elephant tusks awaiting destruction in Kenya. The tusks - from about 8,000 elephants - would be worth more than $105 million on the black market. Conservationists worry that there is a a real threat of elephants becoming extinct in the next 50 years because of poaching bankrolled by the illegal trade in ivory. Photo: Paul Hilton
