Due to unforeseen circumstances we regret that this event has been cancelled.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beavers were hunted to extinction in Britain 400 years ago, but are now being re-introduced into enclosures in England and Wales, with a growing wild population in Scotland. There is mounting evidence that beavers not only help to create flourishing ecosystems, but also reduce the risk of flooding, drought and wildfire through the natural engineering of their habitats. With Britain facing heavier rainfall, and more frequent and intense heatwaves, beavers could play a key role in our adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change. However, there is inconsistency of policy across Britain and delay within Westminster over the release of beavers at licensed locations so that their potential benefits can be fully realised. This public event will examine the science, economics and politics of beavers in our battle against climate change, with leading experts from the UK and overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will consist of short presentations followed by a panel discussion and question and answer session with the audience. This event will be jointly hosted by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, the National Trust and the London Climate Change Partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
