Mandy Blackman usually works at Kettering General Hospital in Northamptonshire, but is currently the nurse-in-charge of a field hospital in al-Mawasi run by the charity UK-Med.
Ten Highland cattle and eight Exmoor ponies are being introduced to the Trent Valley in Derbyshire as part of a rewilding project intended to restore habitats and increase biodiversity.The hope is their behaviour will mimic that of their ancestors, such as aurochs, elk and wild horses, creating so-called "mosaic landscapes" where wildlife can thrive.
While the area has not been affected by recent wildfires, the trust says the animals' grazing habits can help create natural fire breaks in places more at risk.The project has been kickstarted with almost £330,000 in funding from theWilder grazing assistant Alex Fisher works alongside 11 trained volunteers to acclimatise the new additions to their handlers before they are allowed to roam free.
It has taken almost a year for the Exmoor ponies to become comfortable with approaching humans.Mr Fisher says he has to tread a fine line between getting the animals accustomed to being handled, while making sure they remain self-sufficient.
"These are the perfect lawnmowers," he says. "They know exactly which type of vegetation to eat and graze from."
As an example, he points out that their current field is still covered in buttercups, which the ponies dislike.He is also charged with controlling or coercive behaviour against Ms Buchanan.
It is alleged he opened Ms Buchanan's correspondence, would not let her wear red lipstick, and that he controlled her finances and when she could go to the gym or shower.The judge told him during the Harrow Crown Court case (sitting at Southwark) he must not contact Ms Buchanan, must not enter the district of Barnet and must surrender his passport.
Ms Buchanan was a teenager when she became one of the original members of the Sugababes with Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy in 1998.The group went through various formations, achieving six number one singles and two number one albums.
