SummaryAn patch of West London plagued by flooding turned to beavers, extinct in the UK for 400 years.The rodents built dams and canals that transformed the landscape into a sponge, eliminating flooding in the local area for the first time in a decade.The project shows how rewilding can address climate-fueled extreme weather, though experts warn beavers need to be reintroduced carefully.AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.Ealing, West London—A few hundred feet from a McDonald’sand a strip mall, sandwiched between busy and polluted roads, a lush urban wetland is being built by an unusual and furry group of city residents: beavers.This corner of Ealing,a borough in West London,used to flood regularly during heavy rainstorms, with water sweeping into local streets and inundating the nearby Greenford tube station, part of the London Underground.To alleviate the problem, local authorities had considered a traditional engineering project, carving out an artificial reservoir using heavy machines and concrete. But then, a group of local conservationists had a different idea.“Why don’t we try a nature-based solution?” said Sean McCormack, a veterinarian, wildlife conservationist and project leader at theEaling Beaver Project. “Why don’t we bring back beavers?”In 2023, the project moved a family of five wild beavers ontoa 24-acre stretch of land in Ealing called Paradise Fields. “It was kind of a forgotten and neglected space,” McCormack said. Over the last few years, it’s been transformed.As climate change supercharges storms and other extreme weather, rewilding projects are emerging as one solution — harnessing the skills of animals to create more resilient landscapes. But, experts warn, the efforts must be done carefully.Drone footage of Paradise Fields in Ealing, West London.The Ealing Beaver ProjectBeaver engineersWild beavers went extinct in the UKaround 400 years ago, as humans hunted them for their fur, meat and scent gland secretions, which have a musk
