South African researchers test use of nuclear technology to curb rhino poaching
Researchers in South Africa have injected radioactive material into the horns of 20 rhinos as part of a research project aimed at reducing poaching. The idea is that radiation detectors already in place at national borders would detect the horns and help authorities arrest poachers and traffickers. The research, which has included the participation of veterinarians and nuclear experts, begins with the animal being tranquilized before a hole is drilled into its horn and the nuclear material carefully inserted.

Bornean elephants endangered due to human activity
STORY: Elephants living on the South Asian island of Borneo have become endangered.And human activities such as agriculture, mining, and logging are to blame.That’s according to a recent assessment by wildlife experts.The International Union for Conservation of Nature says there are around 1,000 Bornean elephants left in the wild.Craig Hilton-Taylor heads the IUCN Red List Unit, which assesses animal species' risk of extinction. "A thousand individuals, of which only 400 are mature. Those are the breeding individuals. It's a small population, and it could easily disappear if we just let development happen without any conservation actions.”The IUCN says the number of Bornean elephants has decreased over the last 75 years - initially due to extensive logging.The animals have since entered human-dominated areas, searching for food.That in turn can cause them to destroy crops and face retribution killing.Malaysian and Indonesian authorities are working on conservation action plans to help the species cope with human development.The plans will require extensive coordination with corporations, private landowners and conservationists.
