Beavers in Paradise is a heart-warming film documenting the UK’s most urban Beaver reintroduction. The Ealing Beaver Project took restorative action to rewild London and address social justice in this progressive, boundary-pushing project.
In 2023 volunteers and conservationists, and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, released a family of once-native beavers into Paradise Fields, Greenford, Ealing, London. This vibrant film charts the project from conception, through Beaver relocation, to present-day habitat transformation, thanks to the Beavers. It is a story of hope during a planetary crisis.
By celebrating Ealing’s flagship Beavers, this film prepares the UK for new beneficial future neighbours.
Beavers In Paradise shows positive interrelationships between humans and nature. Beavers thrive in suburbia but are symbolic of wilderness, lending them an amazing superpower; to rewild hearts and minds. In Ealing a diverse community has been galvanised into positive action.
Produced by Matt Brierley (BBC Wild Isles, Springwatch & Planet Earth II). Commissioned by NGO Citizen Zoo. Supported by the Mayor of London, Beaver Trust, Ealing Wildlife Group and Friends of Horenden. Funded by Consano Earth.
