This photo taken July 27, 2017, in Albany, N.Y., shows carved ivory tusks, some of the artifacts to be crushed Thursday, Aug. 3 in Central Park to highlight New York's determination to crush the illegal ivory trade. Since August 2014, New York law has prohibited the sale, purchase, trade or distribution of anything made from elephant or mammoth ivory or rhinoceros horn, except in limited situations with state approval. Enforcement efforts have focused on New York City, the nation’s largest port of entry for illegal wildlife goods, state officials said.  (AP Photo/ Mary Esch)
