A report on Damian Aspinall’s project to release once-captive gorillas back into the wild, specifically into a forest in Gabon, West Africa. The multimillionaire of Kent, England runs a conservation group, the Aspinall Foundation, and believes keeping animals locked up in a zoo is immoral. After attempting this experiment for a year, and just one month after placing the gorillas into the wild, they discovered five females and one child gorilla died, proving Aspinall’s critics correct: the wild is a not necessarily a place where it is safe for domesticated animals to roam. Includes interviews with: Damian Aspinall and Tara Stoinski, president of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

A report on how China has become the world leader of rare earth metals, essential ingredients used in everything from smart phones and computers to cars and missiles. The U.S. began the cultivation of these materials at Molycorp, Inc.’s mine in Mountain Pass, California after geologists identified rare earth elements in the Mojave Desert, but it was shut down in 1998 due to environmental concerns. Meanwhile, China took over the industry since they have less environmental constraints around mining and lower labor costs, which translates into lower pricing. Molycorp Inc.’s Mountain Pass mine reopened in 2010. Includes interviews with: Constantine Karayannopoulos, chairman of Molycorp, Inc.; Daniel McGroarty, principal of Carmot Strategic Group; and Ed Richardson, president of the U.S. Magnetic Materials Association.

An investigation into the allegations that thousands of homeowners were denied their flood insurance claims after the effects of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 due to fraudulent engineers’ reports. The insurance companies in question (HiRise Engineering, Wright Flood, and U.S. Forensic) all declined requests for interviews and claim the reason the reports were changed was to allow for a peer review process. The New York attorney general’s office is investigating possible criminal activity. The insurance companies in question are overseen by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who admitted to seeing the fraudulent reports and say they are in the process of negotiations to settle the claims. Includes interviews with: Bob Kaible, homeowner in Long Beach, NY denied full flood insurance after Sandy; Steve Mostyn, Texas trial lawyer helping Sandy victims; John and Gail Mero, married homeowners in East Rockaway, New York denied full flood insurance after Sandy; Andrew Braum, engineer for HiRise Engineering; and Brad Kieserman, FEMA Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance.
