It is amazing some of the technology that is coming out to save Rhinos.

They are putting cameras with gps triggered by heart rate monitors into the horns of Rhinos.



When the animal is distressed, it alerts authorities of potential poaching activity and where it is happening, also hopefully the camera identifies the poachers.



Also a biotech company is developing 3d printed rhino horns that are genetically similar to actual horns.

The hope is to flood the markets for rhino horns and help drive down the price to a point where poaching is no longer a financially attractive endeavor.
