Every six hours in Africa, a rhinoceros is butchered to death by poachers.
In an effort to deter them, cameras are being hidden in the animals’ horns.
Footage, as well as data from a GPS satellite collar and heart rate monitor, are then broadcast in real-time to a control centre.
From there, anti-poaching teams can be alerted and dispatched to the rhino within seconds.
Dr Paul O’Donoghue, a University of Chester-based researcher who invented the Protect RAPID (Real-time Anti-Poaching Intelligence Device), joined Sky’s Eamonn Holmes to discuss the device.
