- Earthquakes, flooding and hurricanes cause enormous damage to infrastructure and trap people inside collapsed buildings. A Belgium non-profit company APOPO is training rats to search the disaster zones for survivors.
- The rats wear high-tech backpacks that provide real-time wireless audio-visual communication with the company. The technology includes a video camera and audio which helps trainers work with the rat to find people. It also helps emergency workers communicate with the survivors.
- African giant pouch rats are curious and like to explore. They are very biddable, and they can be trained much like a dog. In addition to their adventurous spirit, their small size and excellent smell sense makes them perfect for locating things in tight space.
- The rats are being trained in a simulated disaster zone. They must locate the target person in an empty room, pull a switch on their vest to trigger a beeper, and then return to base for a reward. Trainers are gradually increasing the complexity of the environment to make it as close to reality as possible.

今回、初めてネイティブキャンプを受講したのですが、ルールも把握しないまま授業を開始してしまい、自己紹介講座すらまともにこなせずに終わってしまいました。
明日ルールを把握した上で再チャレンジしてみます！
