From the sewers comes a savior! In this episode of One Wild World, we talk with Dr. Isabelle Szott, a former behavioral research scientist at APOPO - the groundbreaking organization that trains African giant pouched rats to save lives. From detecting landmines in former conflict zones, to identifying tuberculosis in human samples, these "Hero Rats" are making a huge impact. Dr. Szott shares the fascinating journey of these rats, their unique training regimens, and the innovative projects that aim to tackle global challenges such as wildlife trafficking and disaster search & rescue.
