<h5>A New Way to Save Rhinos</h5><p>In South Africa, scientists have a new idea to protect rhinos from poachers. Poachers are people who hunt animals illegally to sell their skin, horns, or other parts.</p><p>Scientists are putting a tiny, safe amount of radioactive material into rhino horns. This idea is part of the Rhisotope Project.</p><p>The goal is to make the horns useless for illegal trade and easier to find at borders.</p><p>Poaching has made rhinos close to extinction, so this project hopes to save them.</p><h5>What Is a Radioactive Horn?</h5><p>Rhino horns are made of keratin, the same thing that makes up our nails.</p><p>In this project, a very small amount of radioactive material is put into the horn. The amount used is so small that it does not hurt the rhino.</p><h5>Why Are They Doing This?</h5><p>The main aim is to scare poachers and buyers. If someone has radioactive material, they can get into big legal trouble.</p><p>Airports and borders already have machines that can detect radiation. If someone tries to take a horn through, alarms will ring.</p><p>But experts say this is not enough. The demand for rhino horns in some countries also needs to be reduced.</p><h5>Is It Safe?</h5><p>Tests on 20 rhinos showed no health problems. The rhino is put to sleep, a small hole is made in the horn, the material is put inside, and the rhino wakes up safely.</p><p>The radiation stays inside the horn. It does not spread to the rhino’s body, the soil, plants, or other animals. The horn keeps growing normally.</p><h5>The Future</h5><p>Radioactive horns alone cannot stop poaching. But they can make it more risky and less profitable.</p><p>If this idea is used with stronger laws, public awareness, and protection of rhino homes, it can help rhinos live for many years.</p>

Scientists are trying to inject rhinos' horns with a small amount of radioactive material to save them from poachers.
