RAPID rhino horn camera concept

Rangers getting a heads-up before a rhino is even in trouble. That's the pitch behind RAPID, a conservation idea where the animals themselves carry the surveillance gear: heart-rate sensors, GPS units and small cameras, all feeding back so a ranger knows when something looks wrong. Faster response to poaching is the whole point. Testing has happened, though whether any of it holds up once you scale it beyond a trial run is still an open question. A high-tech angle on protecting wildlife, with the caveat that the effectiveness part hasn't been settled.
