Cambodia has honoured Magawa, a mine-detecting rat, with a statue in Siem Reap for his life-saving work. He cleared vast areas of land and detected dozens of landmines, helping protect communities in a country still affected by war remnants

Built by the same Khmer Empire that constructed Angkor Wat 160 kilometres southwest, the temple was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008 and are held as an important cultural relic by Cambodians
