Fidelis, APOPO and the hero rats
Listen now
Description
At the foothills of the Uluguru Mountains in Tanzania, a small organization has adopted a groundbreaking and unusual approach in tackling two of Africa’s most deadly epidemics - landmines and tuberculosis. At their headquarters, APOPO breeds African giant pouched rats and trains them to sniff out landmines that still scatter post conflict countries and to pick out positive TB samples that clinics have missed.
