TB And Mine Action Programs
APOPO US WORKS TO SUPPORT THE TUBERCULOSIS TB PROGRAM, MINE ACTION PROGRAM AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF APOPOS GLOBAL OPERATIONS. APOPO US IS ALSO WORKING TO INCREASE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LANDMINE AND TB ISSUE AMONG THE US PUBLIC, AND HAS DEMONSTRATION DETECTION RAT PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE MARYLAND, SAN DIEGO, INDIANAPOLIS AND POINT DEFIANCE ZOO IN TACOMA, WASHINGTON. APOPO LANDMINE DETECTION RATS, NICKNAMED HERORATS, IGNORE SCRAP METAL AND ONLY DETECT THE SCENT OF EXPLOSIVES, MAKING THEM MUCH FASTER AT FINDING LANDMINES THAN HUMANS WITH METAL DETECTORS. HERORATS ARE TOO LIGHT TO SET OFF LANDMINES, MAKING THEM A PERFECT TOOL TO SPEED UP DETECTION. WHEN INTEGRATED INTO CONVENTIONAL MINE CLEARANCE METHODS, SUCH VEGETATION-CUTTING MACHINES, AND MANUAL DEMINERS WITH METAL DETECTORS, THE RATS ARE PROVEN TO SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATE OPERATIONS, HELPING RETURN SAFE LAND TO VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AS QUICKLY AND COST-EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.
