Heidi Kuhn is the founder and CEO of Roots of Peace. She created this non-governmental organization to remove the scourge of landmines and bring the land back into productive use for the next generation now living in landmine-affected countries. Thanks to Roots of Peace, over one hundred thousand landmines and UXOs have been removed since September 11, 2001. Heidi has been married to her husband, Gary, for over 25 years. They have four children.

There are an estimated 60 million landmines in over 60 countries, aftermath of  civil wars.  They maim or kill farmers and children.  They also cause terrible harm to animals, domestic livestock and wildlife alike.  As it takes only eight pounds of pressure to detonate a landmine many species fall victim. Thank you Heidi Kuhn for writing Breaking Ground that discusses this mostly forgotten aspect.
