Beavers to be released in London as rewilding project
#1
A group called Citizen Zoo is working on rewilding and bringing nature to urban areas. There current plan is to release beavers in some areas of London.
Beavers have a strong effect on their environment. They reduce flooding along rivers and the increase the presence of things like fish in streams and invertebrates. 
Beavers create lush wetlands in lifeless areas. Their presence transforms things for the better. They increase biodiversity and create healthy ecosystems.

This is a brilliant idea. Beavers have a way of creating life where ever they live. They are one of those special species that change their environment for the better. 
There are lots of examples of this. The wolves in Yellowstone National Park have stabilized  the park and made it healthier. Anywhere where they return the bison, things improve. Having beaver in London along the rivers will make it a healthier place for nature. If it is healthier for nature, it is going to be healthier for humans. 
Just having it more beautiful will have a positive effect on people. We need nature too.

I can't wait to hear that the beaver are actually back and hard at work fixing things.
