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.

  1. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at ebonlane 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.

  2. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at driftdomain extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  3. Now adjusting my expectations upward for the topic based on this post, and a stop at crystalcart 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.

  4. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at multitabmarket extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.

  5. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at alpineaisle kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  6. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at violetvault kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  7. Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at keepcrate 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.

  8. Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at tundrarack similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.

  9. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at lormiq 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.

  10. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at quickwharf confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  11. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at sagevendorhouse 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.

  12. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at checkoutchamp continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  13. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at sagecrate kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  14. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at islemint 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.

  15. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at dawnvendoroutlet extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  16. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at orchidmarket 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.

  17. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at hazelbazaar 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.

  18. Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at tervina confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.

  19. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at orbitcrate continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  20. Now realising the post solved a small problem I had been carrying for weeks, and a look at modmosaic extended that problem solving function, content that connects to specific unresolved questions in my own life rather than just providing general interest is content with real practical impact and this site is providing that practical value.

  21. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at tidecrate 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.

  22. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at rosevendorstudio pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  23. 888starz_udkr

    Siedze na tej stronie od jakichs osmiu miesiecy, przewaznie automaty i troche live, wiec podziele sie wrazeniami. W 888starz katalog gier jest spory — jakies 3-4 tysiace pozycji, z tym ze czesc to praktycznie te same gry w innych skorkach. Play’n GO jest wszedzie — klasyki typu Gates of Olympus sa oblegane, ale mam tez slabosc do Book of Dead. Jest tez Yggdrasil i Big Time Gaming dla lubiacych mocniejsza wariancje.

    Live to Evolution, co samo w sobie mowi wszystko. Prawdziwi krupierzy, sa nawet polskojezyczne stoly, Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette wieczorem ciezko usiasc. Jedno co mnie wkurza — przy slabszym laczu potrafi sie zaciac, ale to raczej moja wina niz ich.

    Bonus powitalny na 888starz wynosi 100% do okolo 1500 zl i 150 darmowych spinow, rozlozone na pierwsze wplaty. Warunek obrotu x35 co jest w miare uczciwe, ale bez cudow. Byl tez maly bonus bez depozytu po weryfikacji maila, z czego nic wielkiego nie wyszlo. Biezace oferty zobaczysz pod [url=https://atlascapital.in/888starz-kod-promocyjny-bez-depozytu-rejestracja-i-aktywacja-krok-po-kroku]888starz kod promocyjny bez depozytu – rejestracja i aktywacja krok po kroku[/url] zanim sie zarejestrujesz. Wplacic mozna od okolo 20 zl, zapis trwa moze dwie minuty, ale weryfikacje dokumentow zrob od razu.

    Wyplaty sa ok, bez dramatow. E-portfele typu Skrill mam w kilka godzin, karta Visa czy Mastercard to juz dwa-trzy dni. Bitcoin schodzi najszybciej — ostatnio wyplacalem w USDT i bylo po 20 minutach. Support w 888starz odpowiada po polsku, zwykle czekam 3-5 minut na konsultanta, choc raz trafilem na kogos kto ewidentnie kopiowal gotowce.

    Z telefonu korzystam najwiecej — wersja przegladarkowa jest lekka, ale jest tez 888starz apk do pobrania. Wzialem apke na 888starz android bo szybciej sie odpala, nie zawiesza sie. Ostrzezenie — widzialem gdzies podrobione wersje typu apk mod, nie dotykajcie tego, bierzcie plik wylacznie ze strony operatora. Kasyno ma licencje Curacao — nie jest to unijna, kto gra z Polski, ten wie jak to wyglada.

    Ben een paar maanden geleden bij Lalabet begonnen en niet gelogen dacht ik dat het weer zo’n doorsnee tent zou zijn. De collectie is echt niet mis: ergens rond de 3000 slots als ik het goed heb geteld. NetEnt, Play’n GO en Pragmatic zie je overal terug, en de klassiekers zoals Book of Dead, Sweet Bonanza en Gates of Olympus vind je zonder zoeken.

    Waar ik zelf het meeste hang is het live gedeelte. Evolution levert dat stuk en dat merk je meteen: mensen van vlees en bloed die af en toe Nederlands spreken, plus Crazy Time en Lightning Roulette. De stream hapert bij mij nooit, ook als mijn wifi het half doet.

    Over de bonus: het is 100% tot 500 euro en 200 gratis spins, plus 50 no deposit spins bij verificatie. De wagering is 35x, niks bijzonders dus, maar ook niet crimineel. Lees die kleine lettertjes wel even, en de details staan gewoon netjes uitgelegd op [url=https://6a7f3406ec4b5.site123.me]Lalabet Review[/url] voor je je aanmeldt. Registreren zelf duurt geen twee minuten en je kunt al vanaf 10 euro los.

    Betalingen gaan via iDEAL, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill en Neteller, ook Bitcoin gaat er doorheen. Mijn cashout bij Lalabet was na anderhalve dag binnen, met e-wallet nog wat vlotter. En dat is meteen mijn irritatiepuntje: de verificatie duurde onnodig lang, na een keer heb je er geen last meer van.

    Hulp krijg je via de livechat, vaak binnen vijf minuten iemand aan de lijn. De medewerkers van Lalabet spreken Nederlands, al kreeg ik een keer duidelijk een standaardantwoord. Een echte app is er niet, maar de mobiele site werkt gewoon fijn en je kunt hem als snelkoppeling op je scherm zetten.

    Qua licentie zit het bij Curacao, dus geen KSA-vergunning — houd daar rekening mee. Persoonlijk heb ik nooit gedoe gehad met mijn geld, maar ik zet ook geen bizarre bedragen in.

  25. fieryplay_nret

    Gram tu juz jakies cztery miechy, wiec moge juz cos sensownego napisac. Wpadlem przypadkiem, szukalem czegos bez tysiaca klonow tego samego slota. Na start rzuca sie w oczy, ze automatow jest naprawde sporo — gdzies 3500 gier, w wiekszosci Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt i troche Yggdrasil. Standardy typu Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza czy Book of Dead sa, choc szczerze najwiecej czasu spedzam na Big Bass.

    Pakiet powitalny na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny to: 100 procent do 2000 zl plus 200 FS, rozlozone na kilka pierwszych wplat. Obrot wynosi x40, czyli standardem, ale warto przeczytac warunki — siedzi tam limit zakladu 4 zl w trakcie odgrywania i paru ludzi juz sie na tym przejechalo. Kod wpisywalem przy rejestracji, bo pozniej juz go nie doklepiesz.

    Jesli ktos szuka sprawdzic aktualne kody, najprosciej zajrzec do [url=https://perfectcaraufbereitung.de/fieryplaycasino-szczegolowy-przewodnik-po-bonusie-powitalnym]fairplay casino kod promocyjny[/url] zanim wplacicie pierwsza stowe, bo to sie kreci dosyc czesto. Widzialem tez promki bez depozytu, ale bywaja czasowe.

    Kasyno na zywo to glownie Evolution — ruletka z polskimi krupierami bywaja wieczorami, no i Crazy Time, Lightning Roulette i ten caly Monopoly Live. Stoly zaczynaja sie od 2 zl, wiec nie trzeba miec grubego portfela. To co mnie denerwuje to czasem ladowanie stolu potrafi trwac na mobilnym LTE.

    Wyplaty w Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny schodza calkiem sprawnie: Skrill i portfele w kilka godzin, karta potrafi ciagnac sie 2-3 dni, BTC doslownie w kilkanascie minut. Minimalna wplata to 50 zl, rejestracja zajmuje dwie minuty, ale KYC przed pierwszym cashoutem zajela mi prawie dwa dni — skan dowodu plus potwierdzenie adresu. Licencja z Curacao, wiec nic nadzwyczajnego, ale przelew doszedl bez zbednych pytan.

    Obsluga na Fiery Play Kod Promocyjny gada po polsku na czacie, czekalem jakies kilka minut, bez kopiuj-wklej. Dedykowanej apki nie ma, jednak wersja przegladarkowa dziala dobrze na Androidzie. Nie jest to idealu, natomiast siedze dalej i do tej pory nie mialem realnych problemow z kasa.

    Gioco su questi tavoli da inizio anno e onestamente il gioco della ruota mi ha dato piu momenti buoni di quanto pensassi. Non sono il tipo che punta cifre assurde, di solito metto due o tre euro a spin e via. Il catalogo su Crazy Time e parecchio ricco: tra le 2000 e rotti slot varie mettendo dentro NetEnt, Play’n GO e Pragmatic, per cui i titoli grossi come Book of Dead e Gates of Olympus sono li al loro posto.

    La parte live e gestita da Evolution e si vede. Croupier veri, con tavoli in italiano in certe fasce orarie, e i game show sono quelli dove passo il grosso delle sessioni. Ogni tanto controllo le stats dei bonus prima di iniziare, piu per abitudine che per logica.

    L’offerta di benvenuto che ti da Crazy Time adesso sta sul 150% fino a 400€ piu 150 free spin, spalmati su qualche giorno. Ti danno anche una decina di euro senza deposito una volta caricato il documento. Il rollover e 35x, che non e proprio una passeggiata, per cui occhio ai termini: si trovano i dettagli aggiornati direttamente su [url=https://bib.az/blogs/204664/Crazy-Time-Italian-Giochi-da-casinò-live-nel-2026-guida]Crazy Time Italian – Giochi da casinò live nel 2026: guida pratica[/url] prima di registrarti.

    Per i soldi va abbastanza bene. Ho usato Skrill e i soldi arrivano in 12-24 ore, con Mastercard ci vogliono 3 giorni buoni. C’e anche Bitcoin, che pero non ho testato. Deposito minimo 10 euro, la registrazione veloce, cinque minuti. L’unica cosa che mi ha rotto e stato il KYC: prima foto rifiutata senza spiegazioni senza un motivo chiaro.

    L’assistenza che trovi su Crazy Time parla italiano il che non e scontato, anche se dopo mezzanotte i tempi si allungano. Da cellulare gira liscio dal browser, l’applicazione c’e per Android esiste ma e ancora acerba. Licenza MGA di Malta, non e ADM, e va saputo prima. Nel frattempo io resto, con la testa a posto.

  27. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at budgetbreeze confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  28. fiery_symt

    Siedze na tej stronie od mniej wiecej kwartalu, wiec chyba moge juz cos sensownego napisac. Podrzucil mi to kolega z innego forum, bo chcialem znalezc cos, gdzie wyplaty nie ciagna sie tydzien. Lobby w Fiery Play liczy sobie kawal roboty — kolo 3000 pozycji, chociaz realnie krece moze na dwudziestu.

    Softu dostarczaja te znane nazwiska: Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, NetEnt, kilka rzeczy od Yggdrasil. Book of Dead i Gates of Olympus nie moglo zabraknac, ale mnie bardziej wciagnely megaway’e od BTG. Dzial z krupierami to Evolution, wiec Crazy Time, blackjack i te wszystkie teleturnieje. Polskojezyczni krupierzy bywaja, choc wieczorami potrafi byc ciasno.

    Bonus na start wyglada tak: 100% do jakichs 1500 zl i 150 spinow, rozlozone na kilka dni. Wager wynosi x40, czyli nic strasznego, ale i nie prezent. Aktualne kody i to co akurat leci najlepiej podejrzec na [url=https://miragexo.com/read-blog/27374]FieryPlay[/url] zanim sie zarejestrujesz. Cos na wzor bonusu bez depozytu czasem sie pojawia, ale to raczej symboliczna kwota.

    Rejestracja zajela mi jakies piec minut, minimalny depozyt to jakies 40-50 zl. Wplacam karta, czasem Skrillem, Visa, Mastercard bez problemu, obsluguja tez Bitcoina. Wyplaty w Fiery Play trwalo do doby przy e-walletach, na konto bankowe potrafilo isc trzy dni. Jedyne co mnie wkurzylo to weryfikacja — dwa razy odsylali skan, potem juz z gorki.

    Z komorki gram przez przegladarke i spokojnie wystarcza. Chodzi plynnie, tylko live czasem przycina na LTE. Obsluga w Fiery Play odpowiada po polsku i to nie jest maszynowy belkot, odpowiedz przychodzila w kilka minut. Papiery maja z Curacao — standard dla stron dostepnych z Polski. Wazne, ze pieniadze wracaja i nie ma cyrku z odmowami.

  29. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at shorerack 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.

  30. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at yolkmarket hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  31. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at goodsquarry only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  32. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at skyvendor confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
