The StopRats project (Sustainable Technologies to Overcome Pest Rodents in Africa Through Science) is a new project funded by the European Union to bring together Afro-Malagasy rodent experts to strengthen science,technology and innovation on ecologically-based rodent management as a key enabler for poverty reduction,growth and socio-economic development.StopRats aims to link researchers across Africa and to develop their wider networks with civil society organisations,businesses and policy makers in order to evaluate relevant national/regional policies on rodent management,build capacity in staff and institutions,and increase awareness about rodents,the problems they cause and their ecologically-based management.Research and demonstration activities on the predatory impacts of small carnivores,the use of trapping and trap barrier systems to reduce rodent numbers and hermetic storage to manage post-harvest losses from rodents are to be evaluated.Based on training models used in Madagascar,regional field biology schools will be established in West,East and southern Africa to increase skills of post-graduate students and early career researchers in order to inspire a new generation of rodent experts.StopRats research to document indigenous rodent management practices in the target countries of Namibia,Madagascar,Sierra Leone,South Africa,Swaziland and Tanzania will be presented.
