Description

White storks are making a triumphant return to Londons urban landscape, with the first group set to nest in East Londons Dagenham. This rewilding project, following the successful reintroduction in West Sussex, aims to bring charismatic wildlife into busy city communities. The initial birds will be placed in an aviary, with their offspring eventually finding their own food in wetland areas. The project also includes the reintroduction of beavers by 2027, supported by the Mayor of Londons Green Roots Fund. This initiative not only restores habitats but also fosters local pride and engagement with nature.
