Grr, yet another reason to despise Trump and Musk: The gutting of USAID is jeopardizing APOPO's wonderful work, using African giant pouched rats (very cute!), as well as dogs, to detect landmines and diagnose tuberculosis! Please donate or support in any way you can! If you're in the US, maybe you could call your elected representatives. I donated €25, which is apparently enough to clear up to 25m² of minefield. #USAID #FuckDOGE #FuckTrump #APOPO #HeroRats

Leider hat die Organisation keinen eigenen Account im Fediverse, den ich ständig retröten könnte, daher muss ich irgendwie dran denken, hin und wieder auf die Arbeit der #Apopo #HeroRats und #HeroDogs hinzuweisen.

Diese Ratten bzw. Hunde helfen, Landminen oder Tuberkulose zu erschnüffeln. Hab da mal vor Jahren eine Doku auf dem NDR zu gesehen unter dem Titel "Räumkommando Riesenratte".
