Hurrah for simple innovation.
HeroRat is the brainchild of one man who has a love of rodents and a mission to make the world a better place. After working in Africa and encountering many landmine victims, he came upon the idea of using rats to sniff out landmines. They are lightweight (won't set off mines), highly trainable, and easy to raise and maintain.
He is currently running numerous programs to de-mine areas around African villages and schools. Learn more or Adopt a Rat at their website. Next time someone asks you which charities you support, this will be a good one ;).
