Landmines are explosive devices that are buried underground and designed to detonate when someone steps on them or drives over them. They are often used in military conflicts to protect areas or to hinder enemy movement. Unfortunately, landmines can remain dangerous long after a conflict has ended, posing a threat to civilians, animals, and the environment.
Removing landmines is a challenging and dangerous task, often carried out by specialized teams known as mine clearance experts. These professionals use various tools and techniques to locate and safely disarm landmines. Organizations like the International Campaign to Ban Landmines work to raise awareness about the dangers of landmines and advocate for their removal worldwide.
