An African rat has set a new record by discovering 109 landmines in Cambodia. The rat, named Magawa, has played a crucial role in clearing dangerous areas of land that remain contaminated by landmines from past conflicts.
Trained by the Belgian non-profit APOPO, Magawa has a remarkable ability to detect explosives with his keen sense of smell. His work has helped ensure the safety of local communities.
Magawa’s success is seen as a major achievement in the fight against landmines. His efforts have cleared large areas, allowing residents to use the land for farming and development.
