APOPO is a global non-profit organization that trains scent-detection animals to aid humanitarian and environmental outcomes. Its core programs focus on mine action, using trained African giant pouched rats to detect landmines and help clear affected areas, and on tuberculosis detection, where trained rats screen sputum samples to identify potential infections. The organization also explores advanced applications in search and rescue and wildlife detection, expanding the use of scent-detection skills for disaster response and biodiversity conservation. Based in Morogoro, Tanzania, APOPO operates mine action programs across several countries and runs TB detection programs in Tanzania and Ethiopia, supported by a global network of partners and foundations in Europe and North America. In recent developments, APOPO has pursued collaborative projects such as the HeroTREEs initiative with Reforest Africa and ongoing work on wildlife detection initiatives and community engagement in Tanzania.
