Share Veteran demining rat all set to retire to Siem Reap Mon, 7 June 2021 MAGAWA – the first Cambodian mine-sniffing rat and a gold-medal winner in the UK – will now retire after five years in Cambodia. Throughout the years, the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) has been training 20 new rats to continue Magawa’s mission. Magawa, now over seven years of age, was trained by a group of Belgian experts volunteering with APZO, an organisation based in Tanzania. He was sent to Cambodia at the age of 9 months to continue training before eventually carrying out dangerous demining missions across the country. Magawa has been called a hero for his role in clearing 71ha of mine-laden land and detecting thousands of unexploded ordnance (UXO) units in the country.
