The paper examines the Ealing Beaver Project as a pioneering example of urban rewilding in London. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The authors used a mixed-methods approach for their paper\, including multispecies observations at Paradise Fields\, interviews\, oral histories\, and archival research\, to understand the complex urban wildlife experiment that is the Ealing Beaver Project. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Through their experience at Paradise Fields\, the authors suggest that the Ealing Beaver Project is an example of urban nature management as “municipal wildness”\, where access to nature is treated as a universal public good. The project sets an example of what life could be like when we coexist with nature — in this case\, with beavers. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The authors use the Ealing Beaver Project as an example of a new kind of social experiment that they describe as “prefigurative urban ecological politics”. They define this as programmes that reimagine our urban socio-ecological relationships and create spaces where people can experience this reimagined future for themselves. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The authors are complimentary of the Ealing Beaver Project throughout the paper\, concluding: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n “Citizen Zoo [and their project partners\, Ealing Wildlife Group\, Friends of Horsenden\, and Ealing Council] are attempting to produce a more-than-human public good — an accessible wilded park\, rich in biodiversity in the heart of London — no mean feat!
