This #EarthDay, we spotlight a nuclear technique helping protect rhinos from poaching. 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. Supported by the IAEA, the Rhisotope Project shows how nuclear science helps protect wildlife.
