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.









Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at creatinecrate confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.
Speaking as someone who reads a lot on this topic this site has earned a high position in my source rankings, and a stop at rackora reinforced that ranking, the informal ranking of sources for a topic is something I maintain mentally and this site has moved into the upper portion of those rankings clearly.
Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at kelnix took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.
Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to serviq I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at umbramart extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at liltstore did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at timbermarket added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at gpugearhouse extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.
Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at lightandlamp confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at ilvora extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at snippetsmith similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at supplysymphony confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at quickaisle confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at garnetdock extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at lockandloadshop kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at plannerprairie only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at yelnix earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at harlune 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.
Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at schemaatelier reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at royalrafter reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at pixelparade extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at curioport extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at fiorvyn explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at spruceandstyle confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.
Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at supplystack extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.
Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at tervina only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.
Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at chocolateroom extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at youngcrate continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at kovalyn continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.

Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at wavento extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at glentra reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at ga4gear continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at orderpad confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at phoneforge extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at lemonlane kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at datafort extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at ecomengine maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at adsetatelier similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to basketberry kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
