Derek Gow: Wolves are thriving again across western Europe. Is it time to bring them back to the UK?
Former sheep farmer Derek Gow is on a mission to rewild Britain. Having switched sides from team sheep, he wants to reintroduce its mortal enemy.
Inside a crepuscular barn filled with a pungent aroma, an imposing, bearded Scot Derek Gow sits surrounded by his collection of animal skulls, stuffed beavers, taxidermied badgers and birds of prey.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
SOCP vet, Dr Pandu Wibisono, performs a field autopsy on a dead orang-utan. Orangutan populations are in rapid decline in both Sumatra and Borneo due to increasing habitat loss and fragmentation. One tool being employed by the SOCP to address this is the reintroduction to the wild of confiscated ex-captive orangutans. The goal is to establish entirely new genetically viable, self-sustaining wild populations of this Critically Endangered species, as a ‘safety net’, should catastrophe befall the remaining naturally wild populations in Sumatra. Two such new populations are being established, one in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Jambi province and one in Jantho. Both sites lie within the historical range of the species but outside its current distribution, and both are legally protected under Indonesian law.© Charlie Dailey / eyevine

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
This is one of a few orangutans in the SOCP program that may not be eligible for release. Having been abused so aggressively for his whole life in captivity his disabilities prevent him from life in the wild. But he could live for another 50 years so Dr Singleton along with SOPC is building a Haven for them which is a series of lakes and natural vegetation where such individuals can live out their lives. It will also become an information centre where people can come ton learn about orangutans, just outside the Medan, Sumatra.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Dr Singleton , SOCP Director, watches over the adult orangutan. Dr Singleton has been working in Sumatra with orang-utangs since 1993, completing his doctorate in their behaviour and seasonal movements in the peat swamps. He founded SOCP and now spends most of his time confiscating illegally kept pet orangutans, rehabilitating them and releasing them into the wild. He has created two new viable satellite populations of orangutans in Sumatra and works to protect the Leuser ecostem and therefore the Sumatran orang-utang population. Orangutan populations are in rapid decline in both Sumatra and Borneo due to increasing habitat loss and fragmentation.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Palm oil plantation in Northern Sumatra. Palm oil fruits being loaded into a truck for transfer. Orangutan populations are in rapid decline in both Sumatra and Borneo due to increasing habitat loss and fragmentation. One tool being employed by the SOCP to address this is the reintroduction to the wild of confiscated ex-captive orangutans. The goal is to establish entirely new genetically viable, self-sustaining wild populations of this Critically Endangered species, as a ‘safety net’, should catastrophe befall the remaining naturally wild populations in Sumatra. Two such new populations are being established, one in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Jambi province and one in Jantho. Both sites lie within the historical range of the species but outside its current distribution, and both are legally protected under Indonesian law.© Charlie Dailey / eyevine

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Dr Singleton has been working in Sumatra with orang-utangs since 1993, completing his doctorate in their behaviour and seasonal movements in the peat swamps. He founded SOCP and now spends most of his time confiscating illegally kept pet orangutans, rehabilitating them and releasing them into the wild. He has created two new viable satellite populations of orangutans in Sumatra and works to protect the Leuser ecostem and therefore the Sumatran orang-utang population.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Illegally deforested lowland rainforest in Leuser. Devastating views of the Tripa region where Palm Oil Planation companies log, burn and cut canals to drain the peat land of the lowland swamps of the protected Leuser ecosystem to clear the land illegally to plant palm oil plantations. The forests & peat swamps of Indonesia that sequester so much of the worlds carbon become carbon bombs, exploding vast stores on carbon into the atmosphere once logged and burnt. The action places Indonesia as the third largest carbon polluting country in the world after the USA and China.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Palm oil plantation in Northern Sumatra. While these plantations are beautiful in their own way they are nothing compared to the rainforest that once grew here.

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Asril Abdullah, operations manager for Sumatran orang-utan Conservation Programme (SOCP). Wild orangutans typically stay high in the canopy, often 40 ft up and so darting is a difficult and skilled action. This occasion was particularly difficult as the female was a mother and her very small young infant was clinging to her. Asril had to ensure not to dart the baby and that when the mother fell from the canopy she landed in the net being held by the SOCP team. Orangutan populations are in rapid decline in both Sumatra and Borneo due to increasing habitat loss and fragmentation. One tool being employed by the SOCP to address this is the reintroduction to the wild of confiscated ex-captive orangutans. The goal is to establish entirely new genetically viable, self-sustaining wild populations of this Critically Endangered species, as a ‘safety net’, should catastrophe befall the remaining naturally wild populations in Sumatra. Two such new populations are being established, one in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park in Jambi province and one in Jantho. Both sites lie within the historical range of the species but outside its current distribution, and both are legally protected under Indonesian law.© Charlie Dailey / eyevine

REPORTAGE - Orang-Utan Station auf Sumatra
Asril Abdullah, operations manager for Sumatran orang-utan Conservation Programme. The SOCP team had been made aware of a mother and baby orang-utan in a small piece of forest in the Tripa swamp lands of the lowland Leuser ecosystem. The area had been aggressively logged and burnt by palm oil plantations and the pair were under threat. The SOCP team translocate orangutans from high risk areas to two designated safe release sites in Sumatra to create viable satellite breeding populations. Orangutan populations are in rapid decline in both Sumatra and Borneo due to increasing habitat loss and fragmentation.
