Conservative specialists give radioactive pods to save them from fishermen

James Larkin says that the injection of radioactive isotopes in a single -century century is much easier than what appears to be.

“You are mainly drilling a hole in the century, and a radio counterpart was carefully chosen in the century in two places, then closes it, deny calm, and send the rhinoceros on its way to the next five years,” he said, he said, he said, he said, he said As it happens Paul Hunter guest host.

“It’s easy. It was done and dust in a few minutes.”

Larkin is the chief science official in the RHISOTOPE project, which aims to protect the endangered rhinoceros in South Africa by making their horns are radiant.

He says the doses are very weak that they do not pose any danger to animals, but they are strong enough to stop the nuclear security system alarm in the international border crossings. The goal is to deter people from overfishing over a single -century, and arrest those who do.

Scientists who do not participate in the project welcomes the innovative effort to protect endangered animals, but they assert that this work alone is not sufficient to save them.

Low doses were proven in trial

The RHISOTOPE project is a cooperation between nuclear energy officials and conservative scientists, in partnership with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the University of South Africa, as Larkin is the director of the radiological and health physics unit.

“After I saw enough animal videos that are distorted … it’s a matter of, hey, perhaps I can do something about it using my background,” he said.

First, he says, they had to make sure of its success, and they were safe with the Century.

So over the past six years, he and his colleagues have been testing the idea, first in the laboratory with mathematical modeling to determine the most effective, effective dose, and later in this field, where they injected 20 unicorn with black and white in Renault Orphans in Limpopo Province, South Africa.

He says that follow -up studies on the unicorn have not shown any negative effects of radiation, which he says is the human equivalent to obtain three CT scans per year.

“No, he will not harm animals, nor, they will not glow in the dark.” Larkin said.

However, radiation is strong enough to stop radiation detection devices at airports and other border crossings.

“Over the years, due to the threat of nuclear terrorism, these disclosures have been installed all over the world in ports and airports and such places to stop the illegal movement of radioactive materials,” said Larkin.

“So we stand on the shoulders in many ways. The systems are present. Operating procedures are present. So we only said: Let’s use it to help reduce trafficking in the horn of the Canadine.”

The goal, as he says, is not only the arrest of people who are evading centuries, but to deter other fishermen to bother the attempt.

“Using the infrastructure of nuclear security already installed in new ways, we can help protect one of the most famous species in the world and extinction.”

The Director General of the International session of Mariano Grosso said that the project explains how nuclear sciences can be used in new ways to face global challenges.

“By using the infrastructure of nuclear security already installed in new ways, we can help protect one of the most famous species in the world and extinction”, ” He said in a press release of the United Nations.

It is one of the many new methods of preserving the rhinoceros in recent years. A study published last year also showed this Removing a single -century Overall fishing decreased by 78 percent over a period of seven years in eight reserves.

The cancellation of work does not affect the health of animals or their ability to have children, however The 2023 study found that it might affect their behaviorThis caused them to socialize less and reduce the size of their home domains.

Hundreds of unicorn kills every year

The Rhisotop Five Five Unicorn Project outside the original experimental group, but it hopes that their work will lead to collective injection throughout the country. They encourage the owners of the private wildlife garden and national preservation authorities to sign.

The International Conservation Federation estimates that the population of the World Century has reached about 500,000 at the beginning of the twentieth century, but it has now decreased to about 27,000 due to the continued demand for unicorn centuries on the black market.

South Africa includes the largest number of unicorn population of about 16,000, but the country faces high levels of overfishing with about 500 rhinoceros that were killed due to their centuries every year.

Larkin says that a single -century century can bring up to $ 60,000 ($ 82,000 CDN) on the black market. It is sometimes used in traditional drugs in Asian countries, but Larkin says the main purpose of it is a symbol of wealth and situation.

“At the present time, you are able to appear for your friends and colleagues at work, to be honest,” he said.

Berger says he hopes this method will be adapted to protect other boiled animals, and he says he is already talking to conservative specialists working to protect elephants, boiled for their centuries, and Banglain, which are caught for their standards.

Joel Berger, an environment scientist in wildlife at Colorado State University, who did not participate in the project, welcomed the initiative.

“After I studied black and white in South Africa and watching the heinous losses of overfishing, now – about 30 years later – it is extremely exciting that the new technologies will be tested to try to thwart the illegal trade,” Berger told CBC in an email.

“The use of radioactive isotopes cultivated in centuries to enhance the discovery of smuggled trumpets across the border provides hope for capturing greedy marketers in innocent symbols in the world.”

However, he says, it is not enough on its own to save the unicorn. He said that the authorities also need to eliminate criminal networks that maintain a unicorn trade.
