Why do I support organizations like Global Conservation Force?
Because I never want to hear, “Remember when rhinos were still around? They were so magnificent - it’s sad there aren’t anymore.”

A Silence is Growing on the Savanna Close your eyes for a moment. Picture a rhino. Feel the weight of its ancient, armored body. See the dust rise around its feet as it moves across the sun baked earth. It is a creature that seems carved from the very bedrock of Africa, a living relic from a time long before our own. Its eyes are gentle, its presence profound.

A century ago, 500,000 rhinos roamed freely. Today, only 27,000 remain. Stability in numbers hides a darker truth—near-extinction is being normalised. We must fight poaching, restore habitats & cut demand for horn before it’s too late. 🦏💔 #RhinoConservation #BiodiversityCrisis

These researchers are using radiation to protect rhinos We speak with James Larkin, the head of a project in South Africa that's experimenting with using radiation to prevent rhino poaching. They sedate the animals and inject radiation into their horns.

The fight against poaching is getting an atomic upgrade. Scientists are using radioactive isotopes to make rhino horns detectable at borders, protecting endangered species. Learn more: #RhinoConservation #Wildlife

~6 years ago two unacknowledged women asked Prof Larkin if it would be feasible to deter the trade in Rhino horns by using radiation injected into the inert material (keratin). He said no, but now after research there is news that a safe dose will be used and can be detected along the supply chain.

Six years ago, a professor dismissed the idea, but now a safe radiation technique could finally stop rhino horn trafficking! This breakthrough could save rhinos. #RhinoConservation #WildlifeProtection #ConservationSuccess 🎉
