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. Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at buildyourstrategicfuture only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.

  2. A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at xavro maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.

  3. Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at learnsomethingmeaningful continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.

  4. والله أنا بقالي شوية أشهر بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وقررت أكتب تجربتي علشان ناس كتير هنا في مصر بتسأل عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. أول حاجة لفتت نظري إن فيه كم ألعاب ضخم، فيه حوالي أكتر من 2500 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    شركات الاستوديوهات ناس محترمين زي براجماتيك وبلاي إن جو. أنا بلعب كتير على Gates of Olympus وSweet Bonanza، ومن وقت للتاني بجرب Book of Dead. لو مش من هواة السلوتس فيه قسم الديلر المباشر من Evolution بموزعين حقيقيين، وألعاب زي Crazy Time بتكسر الملل.

    بالنسبة للبونص مش وحش أبدًا: أول شحن بياخد مضاعفة 100% مع فري سبينز، وفيه حاجة بسيطة من غير ما تشحن لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس خليك واخد بالك من شرط المراهنة اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي مش حاجة تعديها. لو عايز تشوف الأكواد الحالية ادخل على [url=https://readtheedit.com]888starz app[/url] قبل ما تسجّل.

    نقطة مهمة لينا كمصريين إن خيارات السحب والإيداع متنوعة: فيزا وماستركارد، ومحافظ زي Skrill وNeteller، وكمان Bitcoin. السحب بياخد يوم لتلاتة على المحفظة، مش زي مواقع بتماطل أسبوع. التسجيل نفسه بياخد دقايق، والحد الأدنى للإيداع بسيط.

    النقطة الوحيدة اللي زعلتني إن السابورت بيتأخر في وقت الذروة، ومرة استنيت شوية على الشات. غير كده تثبيت البرنامج محتاج تسمح بمصادر خارجية، مش صعبة بس تحتاج انتباه. التطبيق نفسه خفيف على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.

    بالنسبة لي كلاعب مصري أنا كمّلت عليه أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق هو اللي بلعب عليه أغلب الوقت. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده بيريّح وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو عندك سؤال اسأل.

  5. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  6. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at trustedenterpriseconnections keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  7. Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at modernpurchaseplatform 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.

  8. Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at trustedpurchaseexperience 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.

  9. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at clickforpracticalsolutions kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  10. Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at buildyournextstrategy extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.

  11. Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at smartpurchaseecosystem held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

  12. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at amplebuff extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.

  13. Worth pointing out that the writer made the topic feel more interesting than I had been expecting, and a look at longtermbusinesspartnerships continued that elevation effect, content that improves the apparent quality of its subject through skilled treatment is doing something real and this site has clearly developed that kind of editorial alchemy throughout.

  14. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at everydayonlinepurchase gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  15. Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at strategictrustsolutions reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  16. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at professionaltrustnetwork stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  17. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at globalbusinessunity 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.

  18. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at pexra continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  19. Сижу на 888starz уже пару месяцев, так что делюсь своими впечатлениями. Зашёл по совету знакомого, думал очередная помойка, но остался. Регистрация быстрая, без нервов — почту и телефон и всё, верификацию попросили только перед первым выводом. Порог входа небольшой, начинал с мелочи, чтобы осмотреться.

    С играми тут разгуляться есть где — заявлено около 3000 позиций. Софт которым доверяешь: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play’n GO, а также Yggdrasil и Betsoft. Из любимого Gates of Olympus и Sweet Bonanza, вечерами захожу в Book of Dead. Что порадовало живой раздел от Evolution — реальные крупье, шоу типа Crazy Time бывает разносит банк, хотя честно казна казино не дремлет.

    Насчёт приветственного грех жаловаться: дают до 100% на депозит вдобавок бесплатные вращения. Условия отыгрыша правда кусается, поэтому считайте заранее — сам пролетел с этим по глупости. К слову свежие условия и рабочие бонусы проще всего посмотреть на [url=https://888stars10.com/apk]888starz ios app[/url] перед регой, там всё обновляют. Ещё прилетает бонус за регистрацию, но надо ловить момент.

    Вывод денег для меня главное, и тут порядок. Платёжек хватает: Visa, Mastercard, кошельки, ну и USDT. Криптой прилетает почти сразу, на карту дольше. Последний раз заказал — дошло без волокиты. Единственное что напрягает — под выходные тянут с проверкой, но это у всех так.

    С телефона отдельная тема: есть apk под андроид, на айфон через профиль без танцев с бубном. Достать можно прямо с сайта, веб-версия без лагов. Саппорт отвечает 24/7, на русском без ботов-тупиков. Лицензия легально по Curacao — для такого казино нормально. В общем пока не ушёл, 888starz для меня зашёл, но звёзд с неба не хватает.

  20. Really appreciate that the writer did not stretch the post to hit some target word count, the points end when they are made, and a stop at reliableonlinecommerce reflected the same discipline, brevity is generosity in disguise and this site has clearly figured that out far better than most blog operations have.

  21. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at clickforpracticalsolutions 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.

  22. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at krixa keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  23. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at zentrik continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  24. Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at valuebasedshoppingonline kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.

  25. Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at buildyournextstrategy also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.

  26. Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at trivoxtrust also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.

  27. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at qorivogroup maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  28. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at clickforbusinessinsights kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  29. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at xalirobonded extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  30. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at zexarobond kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  31. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at findsmarterbusinessmoves confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  32. Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at longtermcorporateconnections confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  33. Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at everydayonlinebuystore extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.

  34. Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to xavix confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.

  35. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at globaldealmarketplace carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  36. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at travik maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  37. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at zarvo provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.

  38. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at clicktofindbusinessclarity extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  39. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at morixostead added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  40. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at clicktoexploreopportunities 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.

  41. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at qorivogroup continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

  42. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at ampleclove reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  43. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at ravionbonded 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.

  44. Now adding the writer to a small mental list of voices I want to follow, and a look at qulavoflow reinforced that follow intention, the few writers whose work I actively track are writers who have demonstrated sustained quality and this writer has clearly demonstrated that sustained quality across the pieces I have sampled here today.

  45. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at strategicgrowthpartnerships keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  46. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at secureonlinebuyingplace kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  47. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at brixeltrust kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  48. Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at zylavostore 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.

  49. A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at valuefocusedshoppinghub continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

  50. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at discoverbetterapproaches 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.
