  • Kato, a large male orang-utan sits in quarantine cage awaiting his imminent reintroduction to the wild, in Nyaru Menteng Rehabilitation Centre, run by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, in Central Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia on 22nd May 2017. Kato was rescued in 2003 after being kept illegally as a pet. He has undergone a long rehabiliation process that includes living on a pre-release island where orang-utans learn how to survive in the wild. The centre houses around 450 rescued orangutans who have been displaced from their habitats by human activity. Many of them will be reintroduced into the wild, but some animals have illnesses or injuries that means they have to remain in the sanctuary indefinitely.

  • As a small monkey looks on through the thick glass of its enclosure, we see two unsighted children reaching out to feel the soft feathers of a Barn Owl. As part of their learning experience as blind (or near-blind) children as well as the extra therapy of heightening their touch sensensation.<br />
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is also referred to as Common Barn Owl, to distinguish it from other species in the barn-owl family Tytonidae. These form one of two main lineages of living owls, the other being the typical owls (Strigidae). Drusillas Park is a small zoo near to Alfriston, in East Sussex targetting children aged between about 2 to 10. The zoo is home to many exotic wild and domestic animals with hands-on activities such as this.

  • An urban north European fox lies dead in a south London road after being killed by a local vehicle. With a fatal injury to its head, the animal has died the previous night in the gutter of a quiet road in the London borough of Lambeth. Its reddish fur and especially its tail - known as the brush - are otherwise unaffected and so may have succumbed to shock rather than major trauma. It is an adult, rather than a cub and will have been missed by its local den. 'Vulpes vulpes' has a long history of association with humans, having been extensively hunted as a pest and furbearer for many centuries, as well as being represented in human folklore and mythology. Because of its widespread distribution and large population, the red fox is one of the most important furbearing animals harvested for the fur trade.

  • A young Tai Lue boy goes fishing in the Nam Lan river, Ban Nawai, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. He wears a bamboo basket for keeping the small fish he catches and a diving mask over his eyes. For families living away from the main roads and markets, food caught or collected from the wild, especially edible plants and small animals still make up fifty per cent of their diet.  Nature’s bounty in providing for the Lao may be plentiful, but this does not mean that the task of growing and finding enough food for family subsistence and maintenance is easy. It is a major preoccupation of rural families and takes the bulk of time and energy of every man, woman and child.

  • A mother holds the hand of her 5 year-old son during a visit to London zoo in the early 1960s. Looking frightened and upset, the small lad walks hand in hand with his mum, away from where there are scary wild animals in cages but still a frightening experience to a little person. The mother is smartly-dresed for the family day out to the capital and its zoo in Regents Park. It was was recorded on film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • The image of the artwork called Big Bird by the Belgian artist Roa is seen on the side of a Balti restaurant in Hanbury Street, off Brick Lane, East London. Painted in 8 hours on the Victorian brick, the work has become a known landmark on this and surrounding streets where little known artists as well as Roa and Banksy have adorned walls and doorways. ROA (born c. 1975) is the pseudonym of an anonymous graffiti artist from Ghent, Belgium who has created works on the streets of cities across Europe and the United States. ROA generally paints wild animals (such as rats) or birds (such as crows) in black and white. In 2010 ROA came to particular notice in the UK when Hackney council threatened to paint over one of his paintings, a 3.5m high rabbit.
