It is hoped the rodents will help turn the location into a flourishing wetland.
Beavers have been returned to west London for the first time in around 400 years in an attempt to improve the capital’s biodiversity.
The project is supported by the Mayor’s Rewild London Fund, which aims to create new green spaces and encourage wildlife, as well as Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund. “We are facing climate and ecological emergencies worldwide, but we have the power to make a difference, and I am committed to ensuring that London is at the forefront of reversing the trends of declining biodiversity and the destruction of nature,” Mr Khan said.
Beavers were hunted to extinction in England around 400 years ago but thanks to reintroduction efforts their colonies can now be found in Kent, Cornwall, Devon, Derbyshire and Oxfordshire.
