Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the indiscriminate use of deadly weapons of war, including cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war (ERW), is showcasing, in real-time, the devastation that war brings to a country and the terrible reality of the use of explosive ordnance. Across the globe, ERW threaten people’s lives and livelihoods every day. In 2020, 7,073 casualties due to landmines and other ERW were recorded across 56 states (and other non-state territories). In addition to the physical threat they pose to people’s lives, the presence of explosive ordnance blocks access to critical resources like clean water and farmland, and hinders social and economic development opportunities, further perpetuating poverty rooted in the impact of war.
越南孔雀知道战争给一个国家带来的破坏及其对所有人的健康，安全和繁荣的持久影响。孔雀每天都在工作，以清理近46年前的战争的致命爆炸性残余。
在过去的26年中，Peacetrees与社区和省级领导层合作，致力于为越南中部人民提供可持续和繁荣的未来。通过我们的矿山行动计划，Peacetrees Deminers已将超过4,712英亩的安全土地归还给社区，并发现并摧毁了136,000多名ERW。他们还通过和平爆炸爆炸法教育（EORE）计划对超过289,000人进行了爆炸性军械的风险。除了恢复对战争影响社区的安全性外，这项工作还成为该省社会和经济发展的必要先驱。如果没有进入安全的土地，就可以阻止农民安全地照顾他们的土地，儿童在往返学校的步行中处于危险之中，其他非政府组织和社区领导的组织无法安全地提供服务。
