How Can Radioisotope Treatment Offer Sustainable Rhino Protection?
Radioisotopes, engineered to have specific lifespans through nuclear reactor treatment, are being used for rhino protection, Jessica Babich, CEO of the Risothope Project in South Africa, told Sputnik Africa.
To align with the rhino's natural cycles, they embed radioisotopes into the horn, Babich said, noting that these isotopes remain active for five years, after which they simply "top up" the dosage.
