Mine clearance is the process of removing landmines and unexploded ordnance from areas where they pose a danger to people and animals. This work is essential in post-conflict regions, where mines can remain hidden in the ground for years, causing injuries or fatalities. Specialized teams use various techniques, including manual detection, metal detectors, and sometimes trained dogs, to locate and safely dispose of these dangerous devices. The goal of mine clearance is to make land safe for use, allowing communities to rebuild and reclaim their environment. Organizations like the United Nations Mine Action Service and various non-governmental organizations work globally to promote mine clearance efforts, ensuring that affected areas can be restored for agriculture, housing, and recreation.
