I despised rats, until I visited the country where they are heroes
I've just arrived in Siem Reap and have been told by my guide one of the top things to see besides the World Heritage Site Angkor Wat is meeting 'Hero Rats'. I'm quick to imagine cartoonish cape-wearing rodents. Cute, but in reality, I despise rats. I shudder at the thought of their tiny claws trawling through landfill-destined dregs and swiftly criss-crossing gutters led by their pinkish snouts, ready to pounce on whatever is deemed toothsome. Beyond their filthy haunts, they are destructive to native species and guilty of spreading diseases. So, what gives these pesky, long-tailed rodents legendary status in Cambodia? My unexpected rat redemption tour begins at the APOPO Visitor Centre. Translating to Anti-Personnel Landmine Removal Product Development, the Belgian NGO helps vulnerable communities worldwide with specialty-trained scent-detecting animals. As one of the world's most landmine-affected countries, APOPO assists Cambodia by training African giant poached rats to sniff out the chemical compounds in TNT. It's estimated Cambodia has four to six million landmines and explosive remnants scattered throughout the country due to three decades of conflicts. Clearly, these rats have a big job to do. And becoming a Hero isn't easy. I join a guided tour to discover how these giant rats put their superhero noses to work. Bearing a slight resemblance to Rottnest Island's famed quokkas in Western Australia, they undergo vigorous clicker and scent training before becoming fully-fledged Heroes, searching for explosives. Their mass is advantageous, too, with their slender frames weighing no more than 1.5 kilograms; landmines usually require five kilograms of pressure to be triggered. APOPO's Hero Rats were first deployed alongside manual de-miners, technical survey dogs and machines to clear minefields in the Siem Reap province in 2014. The rats have since expanded operations in Cambodia, proving their efficiency in scouting an area the size of a tennis court in 30 minutes; an area that would take a human four days. The rats' excellent productivity is a game-changer. It's time to see them in action. Two trainers stand opposite each other on a pitch, a rat on a leash between them. The rat is on a mission, darting back and forth between the trainers in a straight line, eventually snuffing out planted finds. The rat is treated to a banana, and I join the crowd applauding its fieldwork. Soon after, I exercise my new-found affection for rats with a meet and greet, exuberantly holding Cambodia's furry Hero in my arms. Bananas and human endorsements aside, other rats are rewarded with gold. One of their comrades, the late Magawa, was awarded a PDSA Gold Medal for life-saving bravery – the animal equivalent of the George Cross. A large picture of Magawa with his pea-sized gold medal around his neck hangs in the APOPO Visitor Centre. These rats really are heroes….
