Landmine Clearance
Landmine clearance is the process of locating and safely removing landmines and unexploded ordnance from areas where they pose a danger to people and wildlife. This work is crucial in post-conflict regions, where landmines can remain hidden for years, causing injuries and fatalities. Specialized teams use various techniques, including metal detectors and trained dogs, to identify and safely dispose of these dangerous devices.
The goal of landmine clearance is to make land safe for communities to return to farming, building, and living without fear. Organizations like the United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) often lead these efforts, working to restore normalcy and promote safety in affected areas.
