My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I’m particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if the unknown person on your street who fosters kittens is a great example, I’d love to hear about them too.

Mr. Rogers told me to look for the helpers in times of trouble. Tell me about your favorite helpers!

    I think there are landmine Herorats and TB Herorats, that have seperate jobs.

    I’m pretty sure I heard of Golden Retrievers being used to sniff out TB also.

    Any animal with a sufficiently capable sense of smell could probably be used. Rats are lighter weight for use around landmines, and generally cheaper to feed than dogs.
