The Aporia · We joined a beaver safari in London where the animals have been key to combat flooding

The Ealing Beaver Project reintroduced beavers into London to help manage flooding at a local railway station. After three years, the beavers have built natural dams and reservoirs that mitigate flood risks in the area. This initiative marks a return for the species, which had been absent from London since being hunted to extinction around 400 years ago.

Story summary

In London, beavers were reintroduced into the ecosystem as part of the Ealing Beaver Project about three years ago to help address a flooding issue at a local railway station. The project aimed to leverage the natural dam-building abilities of the beavers to manage water levels and prevent floods. Now, these industrious animals have successfully created reservoirs that are helping mitigate flood risks in nearby areas. Initially brought back after being hunted to extinction in London approximately 400 years ago, the beaver population has thrived and become a source of joy for residents who often spot them around the city.
