Rhino horns made radioactive to foil traffickers in South African project
A South African university has launched an anti-poaching campaign to inject the horns of rhinoceroses with radioactive isotopes that it says are harmless for the animals but can be detected by customs agents.
Under the collaborative project involving the University of the Witwatersrand, nuclear energy officials and conservationists, five rhinos were injected in what the university hopes will be the start of a mass injection of the declining rhino population, which they are calling the Rhisotope Project.
Last year, about 20 rhinos at a sanctuary were injected with isotopes in trials that paved the way for Thursday’s launch. The radioactive isotopes even at low levels can be recognised by radiation detectors at airports and borders, leading to the arrest of poachers and traffickers.

Tous les mois je redistribue 1% de mon chiffre d'affaire à un logiciel libre de mon choix dans le cadre de #CopiePublique (copiepublique.fr/ , @copiepublique), une initiative visant à encourager les entreprises à financer les logiciels libres.
Ce mois-ci, j'ai choisi de redistribuer cette somme au projet @gajim (gajim.org/), un client de messagerie instantanée XMPP.
Copie Publique
La Copie Publique est versée par les entreprises et bénéficie au Librecopiepublique.fr
Pourquoi que les entreprises ?
Çà devrait aussi s'appliquer aussi aux administrations… On utilise massivement du LL (directement = service pour users finaux et indirectement = outils techniques/debug)
Il y a 2 jours, #curl m'a ENCORE permis de résoudre un problème de monitoring d'une appli en prod suite a sa mise à jour, des devs tiers qui se torchent avec HTTP (mauvais code de retour) et la personne qui remonte le problème en suggérant une solution au pifomètre, sans rapport…
Parce que les règles choisies ne sont pas forcément adaptées à d'autres type de structure. Par ex, y'a pas toujours la notion de bénéfices ou chiffre d'affaire dans les assos ou les services publiques.
On est juste une initiative parmis d'autres hein.
J'aurai du poser la question autrement.
C'est logique de baser ça sur le CA pour une entreprises à but lucratif.
Mais les administrations devraient aussi contribuer au financement des LL. Selon des règles à définir.
Je préfère que mes impôts financent du LL (et pleins d'autres choses) que le confort des actionnaires d'Atos, de Cap Gemini et les joujous répressifs pour la police, sans oublier les conneries militaristes du SNU…
Oui bien sûr.
Certaines le font (cf les initiatives du ministère de l'éducation par ex), mais ça reste rare.
Je sais que ça existe mais c'est même pas rare, c'est littéralement marginal (ça n'enlève rien au mérite mais c'est trop peu et trop invisibilisé dans la presse, donc ça alimente le délire « libre = 3 gus dans un garage »)
Çà devrait être systémique, vu à quel point en réalité, centaines administrations dépendent fortement de logiciels libres
Même sur pour la presse grand public et pour les politiques, ça fait « plus sérieux » de mettre en avant des contrats avec M$… 🤡
