Poaching remains one of the greatest threats to rhinos — a powerful symbol of our planet’s biodiversity. In South Africa, scientists are addressing this challenge with an innovative approach: using safe radioactive isotopes as invisible markers in rhino horns, enabling authorities to detect and trace them at borders using available #NuclearSecurity infrastructure.
Supported by the @IAEAorg, @The Rhisotope Project shows how nuclear science and nuclear security helps protect wildlife. Watch the full video to see it in action.
