AARON PARNAS 3/1/26 GOOD NEWS South Africa's Rhisotope Project, led by the University of the Witwatersrand, is embedding non-harmful radioactive isotopes into rhino horns so they can be detected by radiation scanners already installed at ports and airports worldwide. Six months of 24/7 monitoring and biological testing found no harm to the animals. Conservationists hope the five-year treatment will deter poaching, reduce trafficking, and offer a more cost-effective, long-term alternative to dehorning and heavily armed anti-poaching patrols.

How a teen's AI model could help stop poaching in rainforests Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. Wildlife poaching is a serious issue in many parts of the world. One way of monitoring poaching activity is to put recorders in the forest to listen for gunshots. [CLIP: Gunshot] On supporting science journalism If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our award-winning journalism by subscribing. By purchasing a subscription you are helping to ensure the future of impactful stories about the discoveries and ideas shaping our world today. Pierre-Louis: Computer programs that use AI can help detect the crack of a gun. But accuracy is still a huge challenge when the forest is such a noisy place. Freelance wildlife writer Melissa Hobson met someone who may have experienced a breakthrough: a 17-year-old high schooler who built an AI model that can accurately pick out gunshots from other jungle sounds. What impact could this model make on gun-based poaching? Here’s Melissa with more about how it might help save elephants and other animals from the threat of illegal hunting. [CLIP: Elephant vocalizations] Melissa Hobson: That is the sound of an African forest elephant. To the untrained ear it might be indistinguishable from noises made by...
