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. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at aisleglow continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  2. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at junomarket only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  3. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at directionchannelsmotion confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  4. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at wintercrate extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  5. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at ecomengine would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  6. Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at olvesta kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

  7. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at glassaisle kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  8. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at labelandship extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  9. Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at soilandsun continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.

  10. Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at paranormalparlor 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.

  11. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at marketlume extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  12. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at actionengine suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  13. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at crystalvendor maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.

  14. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at morningmoment reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  15. However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at soapsonder 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.

  16. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at woodbazaar confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  17. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at karachikart 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.

  20. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at jaspervendor extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.

    Lange nur gelesen, jetzt schreibe ich selbst, und gerade zu diesem Anbieter wird viel gefragt: Betrug oder serioes. Ich spiele dort seit dem Winter, also schreibe ich aus eigener Erfahrung und nicht vom Hoerensagen. Vorab: bei mir wurde keine Auszahlung verweigert, allerdings mit ein paar Einschraenkungen.

    Zur Regulierung: der Anbieter arbeitet mit einer Curacao Lizenz, nicht die deutsche Aufsicht. Das ist kein Beweis fuer Abzocke, aber es heisst, dass eine deutsche Beschwerdestelle nicht zustaendig ist. Wem das zu unsicher ist, der laesst es besser. Die gesetzlichen Limits aus Deutschland gelten hier nicht, was Vor- und Nachteil zugleich ist.

    Zu den Bonusbedingungen – das ist der Punkt, an dem die meisten Abzocke rufen. Es gibt eine Einzahlungsverdopplung bis rund 500 Euro und Freispiele, die Umsatzbedingung betraegt das Vierzigfache. Dazu kommt ein maximaler Einsatz pro Runde waehrend des Bonus, wer darueber geht, dem wird der Gewinn gestrichen. Die gueltigen Bonusregeln findet man auf [url=https://casadelsol-freigericht.de]fortuna casino[/url] vor der ersten Einzahlung lesen, nicht danach.

    Zu den Zahlungen: bis etwa 300 Euro ging es binnen 24 Stunden, bei ueber tausend Euro waren es mehrere Werktage. Fuer das KYC brauchte es Perso und eine Rechnung, die erste Rechnung war zu alt und wurde abgelehnt, danach lief es glatt. Wer die Papiere erst am Ende einreicht, muss mit Verzoegerung rechnen.

    Unterm Strich: die Vorwuerfe kann ich so nicht bestaetigen, allerdings eben ohne deutsche Aufsicht und mit den ueblichen Risiken. Die meisten wuetenden Beitraege im Netz drehen sich um verlorene Bonusgewinne, selten um echte Guthaben. Einzahlungslimit selbst festlegen, Bonus weglassen, frueh verifizieren – damit hat man die haeufigsten Probleme vom Tisch.

    Seguo Crazy Time da parecchi mesi ormai, quindi non parlo dopo due serate. Per mesi sono andato avanti col sito mobile, poi ho provato la versione app e la differenza si sente. Lo streaming regge meglio, le puntate si piazzano senza quel ritardo fastidioso.

    Se non ci avete mai giocato, Crazy Time e’ il game show di Evolution, con quattro giochi bonus collegati: Cash Hunt, Pachinko, Coin Flip e il Crazy Time vero e proprio. La statistica ufficiale parla di circa 96 per cento, con differenze sensibili tra numeri e bonus. Si entra anche con dieci centesimi, per cui si testa il gioco con poco.

    Sul file di installazione una precisazione: il file per Android arriva dal sito del casino, non dallo store, visto che le regole dello store bloccano parte di queste app. Su iOS si usa il collegamento sulla home, e il risultato cambia poco. La guida all’installazione e il file corretto si trovano su [url=https://colombiasct.org]crazy time apk[/url] conviene prendere il pacchetto da li’ e non da forum a caso.

    La diretta non divora giga come temevo, pero’ il segnale deve reggere. Con poca copertura la diretta cala di definizione, ma le puntate continuano a registrarsi. Ho provato con due telefoni diversi, e non si e’ mai chiusa da sola. Pesa pochi decine di mega.

    I pagamenti sono arrivati: e-wallet in giornata, bonifico piu’ lento. Il controllo dei documenti conviene farlo prima di vincere, altrimenti il primo pagamento si allunga. Il supporto parla italiano in pochi minuti. In sintesi vale il tempo, purche’ si giochi con budget deciso prima.

  23. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at deliverdock suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  24. Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at iventra reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.

  25. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at moonvendor added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.

  26. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at ulveta kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  27. A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at eastemporium suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.

  28. Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at creatinecrate kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

  29. A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at motionframework continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.

  30. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at aussiealley 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.

  31. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at zenalune kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.

  32. Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at moonlitmerch continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.

  33. 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 glassaisle 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.

  34. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at brookvendor extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  35. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at growthgearhouse produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  36. Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at bathboutique provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  37. Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at nightnook 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.
