Ealing borough in London has seen a successful return of beavers, who are tackling flooding issues head-on. By creating wetlands, these industrious animals have managed to retain excess rainwater during intense storms. Remarkably, the area surrounding Greenford station has remained safeguarded from flooding for three years. Additionally, this initiative has revitalized local ecosystems, drawing in diverse wildlife and exemplifying how natural interventions can solve pressing environmental problems.
