White Rhino Chipping and Poisoning

Summary As the war against rhino poaching in Africa intensifies, conservationists are being forced to turn to ever more unique methods and innovative technologies in their bid to save the last of these endangered species. One approach is to insert a GPS microchip into a drilled hole in the horn. The chip is equipped with four alarm sensors that trip should poachers try to remove the horn. Another more proactive tactic is to inject an indelible dye and toxin mix into the rhino's horn, which turns it pink and renders it unusable for human consumption for at least 4 years.
