Summary

APOPO is a global non-profit with Belgian roots that trains African giant pouched rats (nicknamed HeroRATs) to detect landmines or tuberculosis using their extraordinary sense of smell. APOPO's scent detection technology has a massive potential to relieve human suffering and promote development when used in TB- and landmine-response, as well as in currently unexplored fields. APOPO has programs in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Angola, Cambodia and Zimbabwe.
