Baraka is a sweet and playful young rat who has recently passed his external accreditation and is working in the minefields in Angola. He was trained under expert handlers in Tanzania at APOPO’s Training and Innovation Center. All of our HeroRATs have a highly developed sense of smell and their light weight makes them ideal detectors of landmines and tuberculosis. Thanks to the generous adoption support of people like you, we can continue to carry out our important work and protect the lives of men, women, and children, as well as animals and wildlife.
