A medida que las inundaciones empeoran, Gran Bretaña intenta una nueva solución: los castores

Hace unos 400 años, los castores fueron cazados hasta su extinción en toda Gran Bretaña. Ahora se los está reintroduciendo como pequeños guerreros climáticos, a medida que las comunidades aprovechan sus habilidades para construir represas para mitigar las inundaciones.

This beaver was released on Oct. 11, 2023, in Greenford, England, as part of the Ealing Beaver Project. A family of five beavers, two adults and three kits, was released into the 20-acre Paradise Fields nature reserve in West London, becoming the first beavers in the west of the British capital in 400 years.

About 400 years ago, beavers were hunted to extinction across Britain. Now they're being reintroduced as little climate warriors, as communities harness their dam-building skills to mitigate flooding.
