We sure love how innovative pieces of technology make our lives easier, but it surely also has a downside? While we use our GPS systems to find our way home, or a place to have lunch ‘near me’, poachers use GPS systems to pin-point the location of the individual rhinos. Enter tourists, spotting rhinos, taking pictures with their phones, to be posted on social media. The problem is that many images on some social media sites are automatically geo-tagged without the photographer realising they’ve revealed the exact coordinates of where the photo was taken. From this data the rhinos are tracked, shot, and their hornes ‘harvested’ (as much as 1,100 times in 2013). Help prevent these horrible events by turning off geo-tagging on your phone and try and avoid posting rhinos on social media sites.
