No HeroRAT has been harmed while at APOPO. Magawa retired from heroRAT duties and remained with APOPO in life-long care until peacefully passing away. 🐀❤️
Proof that heroes come in small (and very cheeky) packages...
Happy #FullCheekFriday from Jackie! Enjoy the weekend everyone ☀️

APOPO attended the Battelle Chlorinated Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, for the first time! We shared how our detection rats can rapidly delineate petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soil — a novel tool for site characterization. #APOPO #Battelle2026 #DetectionRats

For people living with HIV, #tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous co-infections they can face, harder to diagnose, fast to spread, & more likely to be fatal if untreated. Testing saves lives. That's why #APOPO & the #HeroRATs are on the frontlines of the fight to #StopTB. https://bit.ly/31ZkoYt
3 tons of pangolin scales. $10.7 million. Potentially 15,000 pangolins killed. 😢

This seizure at Jakarta's port is a stark reminder of the scale of illegal wildlife trafficking, and why detection at the frontlines matters so much.
