In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans.

After nine months’training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They’ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and scratched the ground to tell the deminers*  that they smelt out’a mine.  Then the mine was cleared.
