New Delhi: Sending a strong message to poachers, a large amount of illegal wildlife products, including those derived from tigers, elephants, leopards, lions and snakes will be burnt in the Delhi zoo's incinerator Sunday in the presence of Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar.

This will be done to highlight the importance of protection of biodiversity, particularly wildlife and would be an attempt to deplore the unethical, indiscriminate and mostly unlawful activities of harvest and trade of wildlife products, said an official statement from the environment ministry Saturday.
