A tiny hero rat named Magawa, an African giant pouched rat trained by the demining charity APOPO, was honoured for detecting landmines and unexploded ordnance in Cambodia, one of the countries most affected by explosive remnants of war. His light weight meant he would not trigger the devices, and his sharp sense of smell allowed him to detect TNT buried underground. Over a five-year career, he located 71 landmines and 38 unexploded ordnance, helping clear more than 225,000 square meters of land
