Rat breaks Guinness World Records for sniffing out 109 landmines
Ronin, an African giant land-mine detecting rat in Cambodia, has become the first rodent to uncover over 100 landmines and other deadly war remnants.
In a recent statement, Apopo, a charity organisation that trains rodents, disclosed that the pouched rat has uncovered 109 landmines and 15 items of unexploded ordnance since August 2021.
Ronin’s exceptional accomplishments have earned the rodent the Guinness World Records (GWR) title for most landmines detected by a rat.
Ronin also broke the previous record held by HeroRAT Magawa, who detected 71 landmines and was awarded a gold medal for his bravery in 2020.
Adam Millward, the managing editor of GWR, lauded Apopo’s HeroRATs for training and caring for the animals.
“Guinness World Records feats aren’t always just about smashing milestones – sometimes they can be about smashing preconceptions too,” Millward said.

“The life-changing results of APOPO’s HeroRATs, their handlers and all the people involved with training and caring for these incredible animals is a revelatory example of the good that can be achieved when humans and animals work together.”
Cambodia, a country in Asia, is still plagued by millions of unexploded munitions left behind from around two decades of civil war, which ended in 1998.
Since Apopo began its operations 25 years ago, the organisation has cleared 169,713 landmines and other explosives across the globe — over 52,00 of them in Cambodia.
The NGO also operates in other war-affected countries, such as Ukraine, South Sudan, and Azerbaijan.
Based in Tanzania, Apopo currently has 104 rodent recruits, or HeroRATS, as the organisation prefers to call them.









Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at horizonanchor kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to risereach kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to appfactor I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at megaluxurious also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at blog33read added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at momentumcore confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at orbitbonding kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at appultimate earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at blog66along maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.
Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at buildbit extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.
Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at blog33never kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at ideasgainmomentum extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Assalomu alaykum, shaxsan o’zim taxminan olti oydan beri o’ynayman, shuning uchun fikrimni bo’lishmoqchiman. Ochig’i, boshida ishonmagandim — bizda bunaqa saytlar to’lib yotibdi, yarmisi to’lovda ming bahona qiladi. Lekin 888starz menda shu paytgacha umuman aldamadi.
Slotlar tomonini aytsam, tanlov juda keng — menimcha 4000dan ko’proq, aniq sanamadim. Ko’proq Pragmatic Play o’yinlarini tepaman: Gates of Olympus va Sweet Bonanza klassika, ba’zan Play’n GO ning Book of Dead ga qaytaman. NetEnt va Yggdrasil dan ham yetarlicha bor, lekin ularni kamroq o’ynayman. Live qismi yaxshi yig’ilgan — Evolution studiyasi, tirik dilerlar, Crazy Time bo’lsa ishdan keyin dam olishga juda mos.
Xush kelibsiz bonusi tomoni ancha munosib: dastlabki to’ldirishda 100 foiz ustiga plyus 100 frispin tushadi. Faqat veydjerga e’tibor bering — odatda x35 atrofida, demak tezda yechib bo’lmaydi, sabr kerak. O’zim avvaliga shartlarni o’qimay olib yubordim va biroz kuyib qoldim. Amaldagi takliflarni [url=https://888starz-apk6.com]888starz skachat[/url] orqali ko’rib chiqsangiz bo’ladi, ro’yxatdan o’tishdan oldin shuni maslahat beraman.
Pul kirim-chiqimi haqida: Visa va Mastercard ishlaydi, Skrill bilan Neteller ham qo’shilgan, Bitcoin orqali ham mumkin — o’zim ko’proq USDT dan foydalanaman, sababi tezroq. Minimal depozit arzimagan, deyarli 20 000 so’m atrofida desa ham bo’ladi. Yaqinda yechib oldim — kriptoga yarim soatda tushdi, kartaga esa sutkacha kutdim.
Ilova to’g’risida ham aytay: rasmiy sahifadan ilovani olish mumkin, Android uchun muammosiz ishlaydi, iPhone uchun ham yo’l topilgan, faqat sal murakkabroq. Brauzerda ham normal ishlaydi, ilova esa yengilroq ko’rindi. Menga yoqmagan jihat — hujjat tekshiruvi biroz cho’zildi, ikki kun kutdim, support xizmati rus tilida yaxshi javob beradi, o’zbek tilida ba’zida kechikadi. Litsenziya Curacao niki, ya’ni xalqaro variant — kimdir bunga e’tiroz bildiradi, men uchun shu ham yetarli, chunki pul chiqarishda kamchilik ko’rmadim.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after pointpath I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Bookmark earned, share earned, return visit earned, all from one reading session, and a look at blog33memorys did the same, the trifecta of bookmark and share and return is rare in a single visit and represents the highest level of engagement I tend to offer any piece of online content these days here.
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at quasarcloud kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at northspireemporium confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at fluentform continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at iconflow confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at 5-g extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at blog33behavior reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at blog44hits gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at joltcloud continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at optiorder the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at risereach kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at blog44futures added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at horizonanchor maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at focuspowersmovement continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at brightbuild extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through blog33read I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to megaluxurious earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.
Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at appultimate extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at blog44trade added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at momentumcore confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.
Now sitting with the thoughts the post triggered rather than rushing on to the next thing, and a stop at softtundra extended that reflective pause, content that earns time for thought after closing the tab is content of higher value than the merely interesting and this site has clearly produced that lasting effect today.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after quadcloud I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at blog66allow reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at hubbyte continued that bar raising effect, content that resets what I think is possible on a subject is doing real work in shaping my standards and this site is providing those bar raising experiences at a notable rate during sessions.
يا جماعة بصراحة أنا ليا حوالي خمس شهور بجرب هنا ومش هقول إنها مثالية، لكن الحقيقة إن اللي شفته أحسن من كتير حاجات جربتها قبل كده. أصلي من الجيزة والمشكلة الأكبر عندنا كمصريين هي السحب والإيداع، وعشان كده كان أول حاجة جربتها.
أول لعبة فتحتها كانت Gates of Olympus بتاعة براجماتيك، ووبعد كده دخلت على Sweet Bonanza وكمان Book of Dead بتاعة بلاي إن جو. الكتالوج ضخمة فعلاً — عندهم حوالي ٨٠٠٠ لعبة بتشمل NetEnt و Microgaming و Yggdrasil و Betsoft. اللي عجبني إن بيبقى تنوع حقيقي مش نفس اللعبة بألف شكل.
الطاولات المباشرة من Evolution بيبقى اللي بقضي فيه وقت أكتر. الروليت وبلاك جاك والكروبيهات بني آدمين فعلاً والصورة واضحة حتى على نت الموبايل. Crazy Time تحديداً إدمان بجد — كسبت فيها مرة واحدة مبلغ حلو وبعدها رجعتها كلها، الحكاية دي معروفة.
بخصوص البونص: بونص التسجيل عندهم ١٠٠٪ على أول إيداع مع لفات مجانية والحد الأدنى للإيداع رمزي — حاجة زي دولار. بس ركز في الـ wagering لأنها x40 واللي بياخد وقت. شوف التفاصيل في [url=https://bestmoneygoldap.com]888starz تحميل[/url] قبل ما تسجل. عملية التسجيل أخدت مني تلات دقايق من غير تعقيد.
فلوسي أول مرة أخد يومين عشان الـ KYC، واللي ضايقني شوية بس بعد كده أصبح خلال ساعات. بحول الكريبتو دلوقتي لأنه أسرع حاجة، رغم إن الفيزا والمحافظ الإلكترونية شغالين برضه. التطبيق على الأندرويد مش تقيل و تنزيله مباشر من موقعهم مش من بلاي ستور — نقطة المفروض تنتبه لها. خدمة العملاء بيرد عربي بس ساعات بيبطأ وقت الذروة. الرخصة كوراساو، يعني مش MGA بس المنصة شغال من سنين من غير قصص نصب.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at blog66along suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at michaelduncan added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.
The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at orbitbonding maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.
Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at devplateau reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at blog66describe added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at edenstack kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at blog33prove only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at buildbit continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at magnacloud extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at sablereach continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at breezeapp provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
