In 2001, Paul McCartney started Adopt-A-Minefield campaign to promote complete eradication of landmines
Paul McCartney spearheaded the Adopt-A-Minefield initiative in 2001, aiming to combat the devastating impact of landmines worldwide. Working alongside Heather Mills and the United Nations, McCartney galvanized efforts to raise funds and awareness for crucial demining projects. High-profile benefit events helped secure the necessary resources to assist both land clearance and minefield survivors, resulting in significant achievements. The campaign ended in January 2015 due to financial challenges.
