While assisting the Kenyan Wildlife Service to track elephant poachers and ivory dealers, attorney G. Kenneth Bernhard found himself posing as an American tourist interested in buying ivory in a hair-raising sting operation, joining in flying missions to spot poachers, and attending ranger training. "They were doing this ambush training and I was jumping around rocks, avoiding scorpions and snakes and firing an AK-47 that was filled with blanks," Bernhard said. "I was 66 years old going on 12."
