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. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at fernbrookvendorfoundry earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  2. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to gorurn confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  3. Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at atticboulder held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.

  4. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem spoznal ljudi, ki jim je uspelo — vse se je spremenilo. Odvisnost od alkohola je strašna bolezen. In najhuje je, da mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato priporočam, da preverite celoten postopek na spletni strani, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev [url=alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — vzemite si čas in preberite. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  5. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at jibion confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  6. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at quartzorchardcraftcollective extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  7. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at lemonridgecommercegallery reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  8. Нифига себе проблема, соседи уже устали слушать эти крики. Как есть — нужен нормальный вывод из запоя на дому. Тут тебе не частная лавочка. Между нами, вот нормальный расклад — снять запой на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Хватит надеяться на авось. Лучше один раз дернуться, чем потом скорую вызывать. Рекомендую эту наркологическую клинику.

  9. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at creekharborcommercegallery 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.

  10. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at forestcovegoodsatelier adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  11. Блин, каждое утро одно и то же. Что делать — непонятно. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — срочный вывод из запоя без лишних вопросов. Ребята знают свое дело. Короче, тыкайте сюда — вывод из запоя стоимость [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru[/url] Организм не вывозит. Сам через это прошел, чем хоронить близкого. Проверено на своей шкуре.

  12. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at jebbeo maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  13. Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after igogoa 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.

  14. Liked the way the post balanced confidence and humility, and a stop at targetskein maintained the same balance, knowing when to assert and when to acknowledge uncertainty is a sign of mature thinking and the writers here have clearly developed that calibration through what I assume is years of careful work on their craft.

  15. Честно говоря, куча народу сталкивается. Каждые выходные одно и то же. В такой теме главное не заниматься самодеятельностью. Нашел нормальный вариант — вывод из запоя на дому. Ребята реально шарят. Короче, вот собственно источник — вывод из запоя цены воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Промедление смерти подобно, так как один финал — реанимация. Сам так спасал брата.

  16. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at goodswaystore confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  17. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at oakcovecraftcollective held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  18. Слушайте ребята, такая херня приключилась. Муж пьёт неделю без остановки. Думали конец. Скорая не приезжает. Короче, врачи реально вытащили — нормальное выведение из запоя капельницей. Через час были. В общем, там контакты и прайс — сколько стоит вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.

  19. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at vincatrench rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  20. This actually answered the question I had been searching for, and after I checked pebblepinemerchantgallery I had a few more pieces I had not realised I needed, that is the sign of a site that knows what its readers want before they even know how to ask it which is impressive.

  21. Слушайте, бывает же такое горе. Близкий уже неделю не просыхает. Думал уже всё. Скорая не едет. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — профессиональный вывод из запоя на дому. Приехали. В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — помощь при запое на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]помощь при запое на дому[/url] Не тяните. Скиньте кому надо.

  22. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on brofix I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  23. Started reading expecting to disagree and ended mostly nodding along, and a look at hazelharborcraftcollective continued the pattern, content that wins agreement through evidence and reasoning rather than rhetorical force is the kind that actually shifts minds and this site clearly knows how to do that across what I have read so far.

  24. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after fastcartsolutions 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.

  26. Народ, представляете кошмар — близкий совсем не выходит из штопора. Соседи звонят в дверь. Участковый разводит руками. Сам был в такой жопе. Короче, врачи-спасатели настоящие — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Откачали и спать уложили. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя стоимость [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Здоровье дороже. Перешлите тому кто в беде.

  27. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after vyxcar I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  28. Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at nextcartstation extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  29. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at emberstonecommercegallery kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.

  30. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at salemsolid 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.

  31. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at vergetrophy only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  32. Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at halarch continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.

  33. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at meadowharborartisanexchange confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  34. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at sageharborgoodsroom 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.

  35. Слушай, человек просто в штопоре. Без вариантов — нужен нормальный вывод из запоя на дому. Ребята работают чисто. Между нами, там все подробно расписано — снятие запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Печень вообще молчит. Поверьте моему опыту, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  36. Сил уже нет, родственники на нервах. Что делать — непонятно. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — адекватный вывод из запоя цены указаны. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, там все по полочкам — срочный вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]срочный вывод из запоя[/url] Каждая пьянка минус ресурс. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем потом собирать по кускам. Серьезно ребят.

  37. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at driftcovecommerceatelier produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  38. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at quickharborartisanexchange maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  39. Представьте ситуацию, родственники просто в тупике. Достали уже эти срывы. В такой теме главное не слушать советы алконавтов из подворотни. Я нарыл инфу — выведение из запоя без госпитализации. Там работают толковые врачи. Короче, вся инфа тут — помощь вывода запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Звоните пока не поздно, потому что запой убивает почки и сердце. Настоятельно рекомендую.

  40. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at gadblow extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  41. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at linenmeadowcommercegallery kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.

  42. Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at byncane extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.

  43. Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at frostcovecommerceatelier 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.

  44. Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through smartbuyingzone I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.

  45. Всем привет, ситуация просто аховая. Братан уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Руки опустились. Скорая не приезжает. Короче, только это и спасло — адекватный вывод из запоя цены приемлемые. Через час были. В общем, сохраняйте — помощь при запое на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.

  46. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Odvisnost od alkohola je strašna bolezen. In najhuje je, da mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato svetujem, da si vzamete čas in preberete posodobljene podatke, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=https://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]zdravljenje alkoholizma[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Po dolgih letih sem končno našel rešitev. Če poznate koga, ki potrebuje pomoč — ne odlašajte. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  47. Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at trebleupper confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.

  48. Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after bitternarbor I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.

  49. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at homeneedsonline added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  50. Народ, бывает же такое горе. Родственник пьет без остановки. Руки опускаются. Участковый только руками разводит. Короче, врачи толковые попались — нормальное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя прайс [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]вывод из запоя прайс[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.
