Lupita and Yaya Touré among Celebs in the big ivory poaching war

Kenya has lately been hosting international icons in the fight against ivory poaching with Lupita Nyong'o being the latest to join the big war.

Few recall that just the other day Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Touré, was in Nairobi to highlight ivory poaching.

This week, the city hosted Oscar award-winning Lupita and multiple award-winning bongo artiste Ali Kiba.

"I have learned that an elephant kept alive is worth a million dollars for the economy. But a poacher will only earn a few thousands for a few people," Lupita said has she joined the campaign.
