Landmines are terrible products of war, they are buried in the ground, silently waiting to be destroyed and harmed. In Mozambique, Africa, more than 1.2 million landmines have been planted on the soil due to ongoing war. Under traditional demining methods, it would take 4,000 years to clear these mines, which is simply an unimaginable figure. However, Africa is faced with a lack of human and material resources, and traditional methods of demining are simply not feasible. For a long time, the inhabitants of Mozambique have been suffering from unintentional damage caused by landmines. Just when people are deeply worried about this,AfricansThis dilemma was easily solved in an ingenious way, allowing 1.2 million mines to disappear calmly.
The problem of landmines expansion has always been a major concern in Africa. Due to the characteristics of strong concealment and great destructive power, landmines pose a huge threat to the safety of people's lives. In the country of Mozambique, the problem of landmines is particularly acute due to the persistence of war. Mozambique** is aware of the urgency of the problem and has taken steps to address it. However, the sheer number of landmines and the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional demining methods make the solution extremely difficult. And thankfully, in the face of difficulties,AfricansWith their unique wisdom and courage, they found a solution and successfully dealt with the 1.2 million dangerous landmines that were still hiding in Mozambique.
During the Second World War, landmines were widely used around the world, and Africa was no exception. In order to advance the course of the war, the colonial army planted a large number of landmines in the African region. They are indifferent to whether landmines harm innocent civilians and have turned Mozambique into the region with the highest number of landmines. Mozambique thoughHomelandIt is a small area, but it has more than 1 million powerful landmines buried. This is a heavy burden for a country, and it is a huge threat to the lives of ordinary people. Not only is there a shortage of arable land, but people also have to face landmines that can detonate at any time, making life extremely difficult. ** A demining unit was organized, working day after day, even overnight. However, years of hard work have yielded few tangible results. For the inhabitants of Mozambique, the threat of landmines is ever-present, bringing great risks to their lives.
The presence of expansion mines is a constant threat to the inhabitants of Mozambique. InWorld War IIDuring this period, landmines were widely used as a kind of warfare, bringing untold suffering and disaster to all parts of the world. During this difficult time, Africa is also suffering from landmines. In order to further the course of the war, the colonial army planted a large number of landmines in Africa. In order to win the war, they have disregarded the safety of innocent civilians and brought untold disasters to African society. Mozambique, as a country plagued by landmines, has a staggering number of landmines. And not just becauseHomelandThe area is relatively small and, more importantly, landmines have placed a huge burden on people's livelihoods and socio-economic development. ** In order to solve this problem, a special demining unit was organized, and the arduous work was carried out. However, due to the sheer number of mines, traditional methods of demining are inadequate. The long period of demining has yielded few satisfactory results and has not been able to change the grave situation posed by the landmine problem.
In Mozambique, when they were helpless, they discovered a special oneAnimalsRats。AlthoughRatsConsidered a nuisance pest in many countries, carrying diseases and pests, but in this country they are used to solve the hidden dangers of landmines. First of all, the inhabitants of Mozambique domesticated a larger volumeRats, this kindRatsIt looks like a kitten or a puppy, but it is basically not too harmful to human life. Next, they tried to domesticate thisRatsUsed in demining work. Unexpectedly, theseRatsThey perform surprisingly well because they have an extremely keen sense of smell and a particularly high sensitivity to metals. Once these are domesticatedRatsWhen they find a mine, they stop and don't move forward. Experts believe that this is due to theseRatsFor the sake of living underground for a long time. Demining rats have a docile personality and can become qualified demining "elves" after two months of training. The specific method of operation is to willRatsTie to a rope and drop into a minefield, using their keen sense of smell to find the best in metal and mines. The first year of use of demining rats yielded remarkable results, with 20 demining rats clearing all mines out of 50,000 square metres of minefield in just one year. This seemingly clumsy but extremely efficient method is widely used in Mozambique. Due to the limited number of demining rats, each one is considered a national treasure by Mozambique**. RatsIt replaces human demining and detects landmines, which are then excavated and destroyed, greatly reducing the risk to people's lives in daily travel. This approach has also been replicated by other countries such as Afghanistan and Cambodia, which have also long been plagued by landmines from war. Drawing on the experience of Mozambique, the speed of demining has increased significantly, saving significant resources for these mine-rich countries. In Mozambique, demining rats have become heroes in the hearts of the people, and they will get ** in old ageRetirement。Some people refer to these demining rats as "rat death squads". All this is just because, theseAnimalsIt is only to pay for the consequences of humanity's act of war, if the world has been at peace, humanity andAnimalsNone of them will suffer so much.
Expand when Mozambique is plagued by landmines and cannot extricate itself, a special group of peopleAnimalswalked into their field of vision——Rats。Although in many countries,RatsConsidered pests, they bring a lot of trouble and disease, but in Mozambique they are seen as a way to solve the problem of landmines. The inhabitants of Mozambique domesticated a larger oneRats, this kindRatsIt is shaped like a kitten or a puppy, and it is not too harmful to human life. Then, they start training theseRatsCarry out demining work. RatsIt has an extremely keen sense of smell and is especially sensitive to the most important objects in metals and mines. Once these are domesticatedRatsWhen they find a mine, they stop and don't move forward. The deminers then excavate the mines and destroy them, thus eliminating the threat of the mines once and for all. This seemingly inconspicuous but highly effective method has been widely used and has achieved remarkable results.
The devastation of landmines on countries is immense and immeasurable. In Mozambique, Africa, landmines have become an unavoidable problem. MozambiqueFarmersThey depend on arable land for their livelihood, however, due to the presence of landmines, they cannot farm with peace of mind. They had to carefully step on the ground for fear of touching the mines. Moreover, due to the presence of landmines, the utilization rate of farmland has also been greatly reduced, resulting in food production not being able to meet people's needs. Except for the pairFarmersIn addition to the threat of landmines, they have also had a serious impact on traffic in Mozambique. The presence of mines, neither by road nor by rail, can be ignored. Often, in the vicinity of major transport routes, mines are most concentrated. This has brought a huge obstacle to people's travel and a huge threat to people's lives. Under these circumstances, only by tackling the problem of landmines in an innovative way can the people of Mozambique be truly liberated and allowed to live a peaceful and happy life.
