A remarkable project created by APOPO has been running in Cambodia to save lives and prevent the loss of limbs from landmines. APOPO is a Belgian NGO and US non-profit which trains southern giant pouched rats to detect landmines. Because of the rats' work in saving lives they are called HeroRATS.
BMUC members Susan and Peter Lammiman recently visited APOPO in Siem Reap and tell their story to Merran McLaren, a Rights Rorts and Rants Presenter.
Peter mentions an essay by John Pilger called "The long secret alliance: Uncle Sam and Pol Pot" msuweb.montclair.edu
