The Rhisotope Project

Today we celebrate the energy, passion, and potential of South Africa’s youth. 🇿🇦✨

The future belongs to those who dare to dream big, work hard, and make a difference. On this Youth Day, let’s honour the young people who continue to inspire positive change and shape a brighter tomorrow.

As we look to the future, we’re committed to protecting one of Africa’s greatest treasures, our rhinos. 🦏💚 Help us protect the future of rhinos through The Next 500 Campaign.

Happy Youth Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦

Over the past few days, millions of people have watched, liked, shared, and celebrated these incredible animals with us. 🦏💚

Now, we have an opportunity to turn that attention into meaningful action.

The Next 500 Campaign aims to protect the next 500 rhinos using proven science that provides global detection capability for treated horns. Every contribution helps us expand this vital layer of protection and bring this technology to more rhinos that need it.

The support we’ve received has been overwhelming, and we’re incredibly grateful. Together, we can show that when people unite around conservation, real change is possible.

Help us protect the next 500 rhinos.

Protecting rhinos takes more than one solution 🦏🌍

The Rhisotope Project isn’t here to tell you how to protect your animals, we’re here to help strengthen the protection already in place. Even dehorned rhinos can benefit from an added layer of security, provided the horn stump is more than 15cm from the base plate.

✨ 1 treatment = global detection capability ✨

Together, we can make it harder for poachers to operate and easier to protect these incredible animals for future generations.

A huge thank you to Saint Stithians Girls’ College for your incredible hard work, passion, and dedication to The Rhisotope Project. 💚🦏

Through the Rhino Relay, you raised an amazing almost R17 000 in support of rhino conservation. Your enthusiasm and commitment are helping us protect one of the world’s most endangered species and create a safer future for rhinos.

We are so grateful for every student, teacher, supporter, and participant who made this possible. Together, we are making a real difference. 🌍✨

‼️Even dehorned rhinos are not safe‼️

Recent poaching incidents in Kruger National Park are a stark reminder that removing a rhino’s horn is not a complete solution. Poachers often target dehorned animals for the remaining stump, believing it still holds value on the illegal wildlife market. The result is continued brutality against already vulnerable animals.

This is why awareness around The Rhisotope Project is so critical. By embedding safe, detectable radioisotopes into rhino horns, the project helps law enforcement identify trafficked horns at borders and transport hubs, disrupt illegal supply chains, and create a powerful deterrent to poachers and traffickers alike.

The fight against wildlife crime requires more than protection on the ground. It needs collaboration, technology, and global awareness. By supporting and sharing the mission of The Rhisotope Project, we can strengthen efforts to protect rhinos, reduce poaching incentives, and safeguard one of Africa’s most iconic species for future generations.

Awareness saves lives. Science strengthens protection. Together, we can turn the tide against rhino poaching. 🦏☢️

🎉 RHINO RUN CHALLENGE – SATURDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2026 🎉

Calling all adventurers! The St Stithians Girls’ College Environment Committee is thrilled to invite you to this year’s wild Rhino Run!

Brace yourselves for a twist: the Rhino Relay! Whether you’re a lone ranger or part of a dynamic duo, take on as many 1 km laps as you can in one hour. The faster you run, the closer you are to bagging some fabulous prizes!

This lively, family-friendly event is all about supporting The Rhisotope Project, which uses radioactive isotopes in rhino horns to keep poachers at bay and protect our precious rhinos. For every R21500 we raise, a rhino gets treated in honor of St Stithians GC. Our goal? Treat 3 rhinos! Learn more about this fantastic project here: www.rhisotope.org

Get your safari gear on, enjoy some free goodies, and dive into the buzzing atmosphere. After the race, stick around for scrumptious food, a kids’ corner, and good times with friends and family. Arrivals start at 15:30 on 28 February.

Whether you’re in it for the thrill, the cause, or just the fun, this event is a must!
