Description
The rate of poaching of rhinos in South Africa shows little sign of slowing. The numbers are down but there are less animals to be poached. South Africa is custodian of the majority of the world's black and white rhino populations. The conventional methods of anti poaching are proving barely adequate whilst at the same time risking the lives of antipoaching patrols. The Rhisotope Project utilises nuclear science in a novel manner to protect these megaherbivores and give them the chance to survive and thrive once again.
