TEDxRotterdam2010.9.9---Bart Weetjens:大鼠如何拯救生命
TEDxRotterdam - Bart Weetjens - How rats save lives
The wars of the last century have left behind 55 million landmines and unexploded ordnance. Landmines kill 40 to 50 people every day and 1.3 million acres of land around the world are infested with mines. When war is over mine clearance begins. Mine clearance is usually done manually with metaldetectors or minedetection dogs. This is a slow and expensive procedure.
Bart Weetjens has a completely different approach to landmine detection. In an old labora tory in Belgium he began training giant pouched rats to detect explosives in minute amounts. He then moved to Tanzania where he now runs a worldclass training facility, working together with local communities.
On TEDxRotterdam Bart Weetjens explains why some rats are heroes.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
TEDxRotterdam-巴特Weetjens- 如何拯救生命大鼠
在戰爭上世紀留下5500萬地雷和未爆彈藥。地雷殺死40至50人，每天130萬英畝的土地遍布世界各地的地雷。當戰爭結束掃雷開始。排雷通常是手動 metaldetectors或minedetection狗。這是一個緩慢而昂貴的過程。
巴特Weetjens有一個完全不同的方法來探測地雷。在一個古老的labora保守黨在比利時，他開始訓練巨人巨鼠檢測微量爆炸物。然後，他轉移到坦桑尼亞，他現在經營著一家世界級的訓練設施，與當地社區一起工作。
在TEDxRotterdam巴特Weetjens解釋為什麼一些老鼠是英雄。
關於 TEDx的中，x=獨立組織的活動
在精神理念值得推廣，TEDx是一種方案的地方，自我組織的活動，使人們共同分享的TED的體驗。在TEDx活動，TEDTalks視頻及現場演講結合，引發深入的探討和連接在一個小組。這些地方，自我組織的活動都是品牌TEDx的，其中x=獨立組織的TED事件。 TED會議提供一般指導意見 TEDx的方案，但個別 TEDx活動是自發組織的。 （根據一定的規則和條例。）
