In a remarkable feat, a rat named Ronin has made history in Cambodia by uncovering more than 100 landmines since August 2021, surpassing the previous record set by Magawa. Ronin, a trained rodent part of the HeroRAT program by Belgian organization APOPO, has been instrumental in detecting dangerous landmines in the heavily mined regions of Cambodia. This accomplishment sheds light on the critical role of animal-assisted demining initiatives in clearing landmines leftover from past conflicts. The efforts of Ronin and other HeroRATs not only save lives but also contribute significantly to the safety and development of communities in Cambodia. The record-breaking achievements of Ronin underscore the effectiveness of utilizing rats for detecting landmines, showcasing the impact of innovative solutions in mine clearance operations.
