![]() The Adopt-A-MinefieldTM Campaign engages individuals, community groups, and businesses in the United Nations effort to remove landmines around the world. The Campaign helps save lives by raising funds to clear minefields and by raising awareness about the global landmine crisis. The idea behind Adopt-A-MinefieldTM is both powerful and simple. Designed to move beyond the political and policy debates typically associated with banning the use of landmines, the Campaign provides a practical solution to the tens of millions of mines that contaminate the world. Adopt-A-MinefieldTM combines elements of two successful national programs -- Adopt-a-Highway and Sister Cities -- and applies them to the landmine problem.
