Beavers to make their London comeback in a bid to tackle climate change.
Beavers are to be reintroduced to west London for the first time in 400 years in a bid to tackle climate change.
Last year two beavers, named Justin and Sigourney Beaver, were introduced to a farm in north London, but one of them died before the pair could breed. In total, it is hoped about 116 hectares of priority habitat will be restored or created, the equivalent of five St James's Parks.So far City Hall has committed £850,000, with an extra £1m of funding for new rewilding projects having now been pledged.
