GPS technology has helped millions of individuals find the best route to avoid traffic, help locate lost outdoor enthusiasts and more. There are very few downsides to GPS. In Africa, conservationists have found one more excellent use for this technology—preventing poachers from reaching black rhinos.
The black rhino is a critically endangered
species.

By drilling a small hole in the inert part of the horn, park officials in the Mafikeng Game Reserve are testing GPS technology with five of their protected rhinos to help evaluate whether this might be the best tool to stop thousands of animals across the globe from falling into the hands of poachers.
