WATCH | A novel way to save rhinos

After three years of meticulous and dedicated hard work, the Rhisotope Project at Wits University has successfully inserted low doses of radioisotopes into 20 live rhinoceros.
In this final phase of the research project, Professor James Larkin from the University of the Witwatersrand’s Radiation and Health Physics Unit (RHPU) in collaboration with a team of experts who are leaders in the world of rhino conservation and veterinary work, will closely monitor the health and vital statistics of the rhinos over a period of six months, in order to determine the viability of this approach. .

What an incredible project! This is the way to go! We can't let these amazing creatures go extinct.

So incredibly grateful for and proud of you all, especially you, Jessica, my friend! ❤

Good luck from Poland! We must save these beautiful animals!

[@Michael.pl1977]

Of course I hope this procedure is really safe for them.

What kind of isotope are you using. Gamma rays cause biological harm over time.

Hola. Gracias por su labor 😊 Vi este video subtitulado en español... Tengo preguntas: ¿es un chip o son partículas de isótopos qué se integran al animal? Osea aunque el traficante trate ¿no hay manera de quitárselos al rinoceronte ? ¿Ese material haría daño a cualquier humano que quiera consumirlo?

[@Belinda1971]

Is it safe for the Rhino? Good luck and God bless the team and animals.

[@carolinemerkel1690]

What kind of affect will this isotope giving off gamma rays have on the animal itself and the other rhino 🦏 around it?? What isotope are you using?? I work in Radiology/Imaging.

🎉❤ By the grace of God will this species be saved.

Amazing! What a great idea and project! I hope it works out and helps poachers go extinct, instead of those beautiful creatures

[@user-gl2eq2ly4g]

Would you quit Larkin' about...!!!!!! Seriously though..... Great job people ..... Anything to stop these idiots slaughtering these magnificent creatures ..... Bravvvvvo!!!!!

[@cuorecheballa6075]

Ogni cosa potrebbe essere considerata neutra, e l'uso che se ne fa a renderla buona o cattiva; ed ecco qua l'uso del nucleare per una giusta causa!!❤ Evviva il rinoceronti!!

[@bernardinodasilva8571]

So you wait to get somebody after the killing ? What garante they do not remove the chip ?

[@meziahdanieljolley8842]

Clickbait article brought me here 'Scientists make rhino horns radioactive ☢️' Turns out it's a radioactive chip 😂

[@lucychalcraft6952]

Don’t know what you’re trying to say. What your so called “clickbait” bought you to is information about some incredible people doing incredible work to save these animals from extinction.
