#Magawa, a hero #rat, has made an extraordinary impact in saving lives by detecting over 70 landmines during his five-year career. Trained by the Belgian NGO APOPO, Magawa used his keen sense of smell to detect landmines in #Cambodia, a country still affected by unexploded ordnance

Magawa, la rata que salvó miles de vidas detectando minas.

Gracias a su agudo sentido del olfato, Magawa ayudó a localizar más de 100 minas enterradas, protegiendo a comunidades enteras y permitiendo que sus tierras volvieran a ser seguras.
