World First: Scientists Make Live Rhino Horns Radioactive to Fight Poaching in South Africa

In South Africa, researchers are taking a bold step to stop rhino poaching by implanting radioactive isotopes into their horns. These isotopes make the horns toxic to humans and are detectable by global radiation sensors. This new technique protects rhinos without harming their health or the environment. Rhino horns are highly sought after in traditional medicine, which fuels poaching. Even with past conservation efforts, 499 rhinos were killed in 2023. southafrica
