Protecting civilians from explosive remnants of war

For nearly 30 years, FSD has been clearing land of mines and explosive remnants of war, so that families can return home and rebuild their lives in safety.

Beyond demining, FSD supports affected communities in rehabilitating land, infrastructure and livelihoods, laying the foundations for a stable and peaceful future.

From Ukraine to Colombia, FSD operates across four continents in areas affected by armed conflict, helping communities regain safety, stability and hope.

More than 450 FSD staff are working across the country to make safe the millions of hectares contaminated by landmines and unexploded ordnance.

Thanks to their exceptional sense of smell, our mine detection dogs speed up the process of clearing contaminated land, allowing children to return to school and farmers to cultivate their fields safely once again.

Would running through a minefield actually keep you alive? Test your mine action knowledge and separate Hollywood myths from reality on the ground.
