More about this organization
Mission
APOPO works to protect people and our planet with innovative solutions using trained rats and other scent detection animals.
About
For over 2 years, APOPO has trained African giant pouched rats to use their scent detection capabilities to address life threatening problems across our planet.
Mine detection rats sniff out the molecular odor of buried weapons, accelerating land release. Tuberculosis detection rats sniff over samples sent in from partner clinics to help get treatment to missed cases of TB.
The Wildlife Detection Rat project, currently in development, trains HeroRAT to check through shipping and air ports to find illegally trafficked wildlife products.
RescueRATs, an APOPO project in development, trains HeroRATs to find survivors of natural disasters.
