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. طيب بقالي تقريبًا نص سنة بلعب على الموقع ده وحبيت أشارك اللي شفته بدل ما الناس تسأل في الخاص. الحاجة اللي لفتت نظري إن كتالوج السلوتس مرعب فعلًا — حوالي 8 آلاف لعبة تقريبًا، ومش كلها زبالة زي بعض المواقع. براجماتيك مسيطرة شوية وكمان NetEnt وYggdrasil.

    بالنسبالي بحب سويت بونانزا، وزميلي مش بيقوم من على Book of Dead. الجديد اللي جربته كانت سلوتس Betsoft وكانت حلوة. إنما اللي بيضايقني إن فلترة الألعاب مش دقيق لما تدور على لعبة بالاسم.

    جزئية الـlive أحسن حاجة عندهم — Evolution هي اللي وراه، ناس حقيقية قدامك والصورة نضيفة حتى على النت المصري. كريزي تايم بالذات بتاخد وقت طويل، ووموجود ديلرز بيتكلموا عربي وده مريح. بخصوص البونص فهو مضاعفة أول شحن مع 150 لفة مجانية بتيجي على دفعات، وشرط المراهنة حوالي 35 مرة وده معقول. ممكن تراجع الشروط بالظبط على [url=https://888starz-apk19.com]تنزيل تطبيق 888[/url] قبل ما تسجل لأن الأرقام بتتبدل كل فترة.

    التسجيل مش معقد، وأقل إيداع في المتناول — مبلغ رمزي. الإيداع والسحب فيه فيزا وماستركارد، سكريل ونتلر، وبيتكوين وUSDT وأنا بفضلها صراحة. آخر مرة سحبت جالي في نفس اليوم بالـUSDT، لكن بالكارت استنيت يومين.

    على الموبايل الوضع كويس — تثبيت الـapk بيتم من موقعهم مباشرة زي كل مواقع المراهنات. التحديث بينزل تلقائي والحمد لله. السبورت بيرد بسرعة بس ساعات بيردوا بإنجليزي الأول. الترخيص من كوراساو ومعروف إنه مش صارم زي مالطا، فمتحمسش وتحط أكتر من قدرتك.

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

  3. يعني بقالي تقريبًا نص سنة بشتغل على 888starz apk وقلت أكتب تجربتي بدل ما الناس تسأل في الخاص. أول حاجة إن كتالوج السلوتس ضخم — حوالي 8 آلاف لعبة تقريبًا، والجودة مش وحشة زي مواقع تانية. Pragmatic Play موجودة بقوة ووطبعًا NetEnt وYggdrasil.

    أنا بقعد أطحن في سويت بونانزا، وصاحبي مش بيسيب Book of Dead. آخر حاجة لعبتها كانت حاجات Microgaming وكانت حلوة. لكن الحاجة الوحيدة المزعجة إن فلترة الألعاب مش دقيق لما تكون الألعاب كتير.

    الـlive أحسن حاجة عندهم — Evolution مشغلاه، كروبيهات حقيقيين والصورة نضيفة حتى بالإنترنت بتاعنا هنا. كريزي تايم بالذات مسلية جدًا، ووموجود روليت وبلاك جاك عربي وده مريح. على فكرة في البونص فهو 100% لحد 1500 جنيه و 150 سبين بتتوزع على أيام، وشرط المراهنة 35x وده معقول. ممكن تراجع التفاصيل المحدثة من [url=https://888starz-apk13.com]برنامج المراهنات 888[/url] لو ناوي تبدأ لأن الأرقام بتتبدل كل فترة.

    التسجيل كان سريع، وأقل مبلغ تشحنه في المتناول — حوالي 50 جنيه. الدفع متاح بـ Visa وMastercard، سكريل ونتلر، وعملات رقمية وهي الأسرع. آخر مرة سحبت وصل في ساعتين بالـUSDT، لكن بالكارت بياخد وقت أطول.

    على الموبايل الوضع كويس — تثبيت الـapk مش من جوجل بلاي ومحتاج تفعل تثبيت المصادر غير المعروفة. 888starz تحديث بينزل تلقائي ومفيش لخبطة. خدمة العملاء بيرد بسرعة وأحيانًا الرد الأول بيكون قالب جاهز. الترخيص من كوراساو وده مش أفضل ترخيص في الدنيا بس مقبول، فمتحمسش وتحط أكتر من قدرتك.

  4. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at korla extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  5. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at ravioncore 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.

  6. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at morixotrustee continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

  7. Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at cavarounion closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.

  8. Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at rixaroline continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.

  9. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at clicktofindstrategicoptions extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  10. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at zavirocore was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  11. Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at businessrelationshipplatform kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.

  12. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at zexarocore reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

  13. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at tahwla added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  14. بصراحة بقالي تقريبًا نص سنة بشتغل على المنصة دي وقلت أكتب تجربتي بما إن الموضوع بيتكرر هنا. أول حاجة إن المكتبة ضخم — فوق 7000 لعبة على ما أظن، والجودة مش وحشة زي مواقع تانية. Pragmatic Play موجودة بقوة وكمان Play’n GO وNetEnt.

    أنا شخصيًا مدمن Sweet Bonanza، وزميلي مش بيسيب Book of Dead. اللي جربته الفترة اللي فاتت كانت سلوتس Betsoft وعجبتني صراحة. بس الحاجة الوحيدة المزعجة إن البحث جوه التطبيق بيهنج أحيانًا لما تدور على لعبة بالاسم.

    قسم الـlive هو اللي مخليني فاضل — Evolution شغالة عليه، ناس حقيقية قدامك والصورة نضيفة حتى بالإنترنت بتاعنا هنا. Crazy Time تحديدًا مسلية جدًا، وفيه روليت وبلاك جاك عربي وده فرق معايا. بالنسبة لـ البونص هو منحة 100% على أول إيداع و 150 لفة مجانية مش كلها مرة واحدة، والـwagering حوالي 35 مرة وده معقول. شوف آخر العروض والأكواد على [url=https://apaarid.in]٨٨٨ ستارز[/url] قبل ما تودع أي حاجة لأن الأرقام بتتبدل كل فترة.

    إنشاء الحساب كان سريع، وأقل إيداع صغير — مبلغ رمزي. الدفع متاح بـ فيزا وماستركارد، سكريل ونتلر، وكريبتو وهي الأسرع. آخر مرة سحبت وصل في ساعتين بالـكريبتو، لكن بالتحويل البنكي أخد يومين تلاتة.

    بخصوص الأندرويد مفيش مشاكل — تحميل 888starz للاندرويد مش من جوجل بلاي ومحتاج تفعل تثبيت المصادر غير المعروفة. 888starz تحديث بيجيلك إشعار والحمد لله. خدمة العملاء شغال طول الوقت بس ساعات بيردوا بإنجليزي الأول. الترخيص من كوراساو ومعروف إنه مش صارم زي مالطا، يعني خليك واعي وحط ليمت لنفسك.

  15. Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at savennkga earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.

  16. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at ravionbondgroup kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.

  17. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at themacallenbuilding 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.

  18. 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 kaviontrustco only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  19. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at momoanmashop confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.

  20. Considered against the flood of similar content this one stands apart in important ways, and a stop at qorivobond extended that distinctive feel, sites that find their own corner of a crowded topic and stay there are sites worth following and this one has clearly carved out its own space and committed to defending it carefully.

  21. Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at quvexabond held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.

  22. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at pelixocapital continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

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

  24. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at zexarotrustco reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  25. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at xelariocapital continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  26. 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 jestraproperties only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.

  27. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at axivo only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  28. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to nixaroline 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.

  29. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at kryvoxalloy 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.

  30. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at qulavoholdings 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.

  31. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at xalirotrustco kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  32. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at professionalcollaborationhub extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  33. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at corporatetrustnetwork furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  34. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at xelariobase maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  35. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at zylavotrustco 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.

  36. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at dividedheartsofamericafilm reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  37. Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at zylra 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.

  38. If you asked me to point to a recent positive sign for the open web this site would be near the top, and a stop at morixotrustco reinforced that designation, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce quality independent content are precious and this one has clearly become one for me.

  39. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at yaverobond furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  40. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at trendingnewsfeed 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. Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after xelivobonding 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.

  42. Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at whitedossier 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.

  43. Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at vexarotrustco extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.

  44. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at peacelandworld provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  45. Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to xevirocore kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.

  46. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at qulavotrustco pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  47. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at ulvionbondgroup kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  48. والله أنا بقالي حوالي أربع شهور بلعب على المنصة دي من الموبايل، وقررت أكتب تجربتي علشان ناس كتير هنا في مصر بتسأل عن موضوع تطبيق 888starz. أكتر حاجة حبيتها إن عدد الألعاب رهيب، فيه حوالي 3000 لعبة سلوتس تقريبًا، ومش كلها حشو زي بعض المواقع التانية.

    شركات الاستوديوهات أسماء معروفة زي براجماتيك وبلاي إن جو. أنا مدمن سويت بونانزا وجيتس أوف أوليمبوس، وأحيانًا بلف على Book of Dead. لو بتفضل اللعب الحقيقي فيه قسم الكازينو الحي من Evolution بكروبيهات حقيقيين، وCrazy Time وروليت مباشر ممتعة فعلًا.

    العروض للاعبين الجداد مش وحش أبدًا: أول إيداع بياخد بونص 100% زائد سبينات ببلاش، وفيه عرض بدون إيداع لو بتحب تجرب الأول. بس انتبه لحتة من شرط المراهنة اللي حوالي أربعين مرة — دي حاجة كتير بينسوها. لو عايز تشوف الأكواد الحالية روح لـ [url=https://qualitycientifica.com.br]888starz تحميل[/url] علطول.

    اللي مريّحني إن فيه أكتر من وسيلة: Visa وMasterCard، وe-wallets، وكمان Bitcoin. السحب بياخد يوم لتلاتة على المحفظة، مقارنة بحاجات تانية سحبت منها. التسجيل نفسه مش معقد، والحد الأدنى للإيداع صغير.

    عيب لازم أقوله إن الدعم مش دايمًا سريع الرد، ومرة استنيت شوية على الشات. غير كده تثبيت البرنامج محتاج تسمح بمصادر خارجية، حاجة عادية بس مبتدئ ممكن يلخبط. التطبيق نفسه خفيف على الموبايل وبيجيله تحديثات باستمرار.

    بعد كل التجربة دي أنا مبسوط أكتر مما توقعت، والتطبيق هو اللي بلعب عليه أغلب الوقت. فيه ليسنس معلن على الموقع، وده حاجة مهمة وانت بتحط فلوسك. لو عندك سؤال اسأل.

  49. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at bavix cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  50. Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at neviromart continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.
