Political efforts to eliminate landmines suffer from the resistance of big manufacturers like the U.S. But on the ground where the mines are buried, unconventional ideas--like trained rats--are leading to local improvements. This hour, on Here On Earth, Jean Feraca and her guests discuss landmine detection and education.
Guest
- Frank Weetjens (WEE-jens), head of a mine-detection program in Mozambique
- Major Shakil Siddiquee (shah-KEEL sid-DEE-kee), Mine Risk Education Coordinator for the United Nations Mission in Eritrea and Ethiopia (UNMEE)
