Hey Guys,
Today we're heading to APOPO Rats visitor centre in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
If you have never heard of these Rats, let me give you a brief explanation of what they are doing for Cambodia.
Giant African pouch rats are trained to sniff TNT that has been buried in the ground. They can detect unexploded landmines, Bombs, Mortar etc with 100% accuracy.
These hero rats can clear large areas of land in a matter of hours - humans clear the same amount of land using metal detectors in a number of days.
These rats are saving lives, they are heroes.
Without the work these rats are doing, the people of Cambodia would potentially risk their lives just by going to work on their farms or going for a walk.
It's crazy to us that the wars happened so long ago and people are still suffering from it.
Thanks for watching

Many people died from stepping on land mines while escaping through Thailand border along Preah Vihear Mountain ranges in western Cambodia back in early 1979. People had to walk over the corps to avoid the infested mine fields before reaching the refugee camps in Thailand. My wife and her family had to witness these horrific and deadly journey. Peace from a genocide survivor ✌️
So sorry to hear that, I’m glad you made it through to now, thank you for the comment and hope you’re loving life 🙏❤️
Land mine are still there in Cambodia??? Crazy. I thought they were cleared all by now.
Thousands of them! It’s insane the amount scattered not only here but all over the world.
They're kind of cute 😮
It's time to buy the house and own your motorbike 😆, If you think it's your new home and it's time 😂
Excellent vlog packed full of infouuuuurrrrr! ❤️ love you guys
Nawwwww you guys! Appreciate you so much. And love you back! ❤️
wow really interesting - The map of the world with all the land mines shocked me, I didn't realise land mines were so extensively used around the world - a cruel and stupid weapon that were planted by "great leaders" in their time
It’s crazy to see that there’s still so many mines and unexploded bombs scattered in this area.
Absolute idiots and very emotional to see the effects of such short sighted ideas.
We are truly blessed in the west for the most part.
บริเวณชายแดนไทยกัมพูชายังมีลูกระเบิดใต้ดินจำจวนมากยังกู้ไม่หมดเพราะว่า บางพื้นที่ยังไม่มีเขตแดนที่จัดเจนระหว่างประเทศไทยและประเทศกัมพูชา
Who would have thought …..
An amazing animal - what a great story
A super sad reality on a worldwide scale - I would go to Siem Reap just to visit there … !
Highly enjoyed
Thanks guys 👍👌👋✌️✔️
Crazy that it’s a rat sniffing it out isn’t it? You’ve heard of dogs doing jobs but never rats!
It certainly is, eye opening for sure and something that we weren’t aware of before visiting.
Would recommend, and you get to enjoy Siem reap! It’s a great place.
Thank you for joining us again Ant! 🙏🙏
Great video and props for showing this organisation. Besides feeling sadness and anger of what happened and still affecting people today I also feel a bit proud of my fellow belgian Bart Weetjens. I didn't know it was a belgian who started this.
Thank you! Visiting places like this help us and hopefully the viewer appreciate the things we take for granted, like not having to worry about getting blown up going for a walk.
Hats off to him. An ingenious idea and saving peoples lives and livelihoods.
Great Cambodian you tube videos. Thank you . Theses days to many people are mostly you tubing about Thailand . There not a lot of really good videos of Cambodia 🇰🇭
More to come, we’re currently in Battambang! This country gets better and better the more we explore! 🤩
Thank you for sharing this wonderful vlog. I hope millions see this, and help if able. Many people will benefit, and hopefully there will be more assistance made available for victims of the ordinance that was left from the atrocities of war and the lust for power over others. Our governments spend billions on methods to kill and maim, while doing much less to help the poor, or disabled. May God continue to bless you in your travels.
Thank you for your lovely comment 🙌🏽
We hope too that there is more assistance available in future for the people who need it the most ❤️
Thank you 🙌🏽🙏
This was really interesting, thank you for sharingits amazing how they can train rats
Glad you enjoyed Julie! It’s incredible to us as well.
Nice humanitarian tour...
Thank you ❤️
I have been here, they do great work. The Khmer have been through so much but they don't complain. Not all heroes wear cape's
It is an amazing organisation, doing gods work for sure.
You are right, Khmer have been through so much yet they still smile & not complain.
Khmer people are just beautiful ❤️
@@francandsarahyou two are doing great videos, the shirt I brought from apopo had written on it not all heroes wear cape's
