During my recent trip to Cambodia, I visited their incredible center and witnessed the truly unique work being done there. The main heroes here are African giant pouched rats (HeroRATs), who are incredibly successful at detecting explosives and clearing landmines.
What blows me away is how perfectly structured their entire training and welfare system is. Having spent years working in animal medical training and conditioning, I can confidently say that this facility is organized to the highest standard. It is a place absolutely worth visiting and supporting.
The entire visitor experience is thought out to the smallest detail — from the clear and engaging outdoor infographics to the fascinating, lively lecture.
I am deeply grateful to the people who once introduced APOPO to the world, launched this vital initiative, and continue to save lives every single day. 🙏❤️
