Adopt-A-MinefieldTM
The Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign encourages individuals, community groups and businesses (in the United Nation's) to remove landmines around the world. The Campaign helps to save lives by raising funds to clear minefields, and by raising awareness about the global landmine crisis. Moving beyond the political and policy debates typically associated with banning the use of landmines, the Campaign provides a practical solution to ridding the world of the tens of millions of mines that contaminate it.
