#APOPO trains African giant pouched rats to detect landmines using their incredible sense of smell. Through clicker training and positive reinforcement, young HeroRATs learn to search for target scents with focus and confidence. Young Zana is learning basic clicker training and enjoys her reward of mashed banana and avocado as she learns to explore. Thank you to Diplomatie.Belgium 🇧🇪 for supporting our training centre and enabling this life-saving work. #HeroRATs #FutureHeroes #ClickerTraining
