South African scientists have launched an anti-poaching campaign in which rhino's horns will be injected with a radioactive material. The group, from the University of the Witwatersrand, said the process is harmless to rhinos but will allow customs officers to detect smuggled horns as they're transported across the world.

South Africa has launched an innovative anti- poaching campaign, injecting rhino horns with radioactive isotopes to deter illegal trafficking.

In Mokopane, South Africa, researchers at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg have launched the Rhisotope Project, an initiative that aims to disrupt the illegal rhino horn trade by making rhino horns radioactive. Don’t worry — this comes at no harm to the animals.
