History
The founder of DIGGER DTR, Frédéric Guerne, had worked as an engineer at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) on landmine detection projects, which ended in 1997. Passionate and engaged, he gathered around him about thirty volunteers from different but complementary fields and with the necessary know-how and in 1998 the team took up work. Initially an association, DIGGER DTR became a foundation in 2005.
The anteater is the symbol of Digger. Its long, tubular snouts, and its tapering tongue help it to search, dig, and clean the ground.
