Reviving rivers: Making space for water

We need solutions that will help restore health and nature to our rivers.
Most rivers are not in a good way, but imagine if they became the clean veins of the countryside again - connected corridors for nature’s recovery and a foundation to rebuild climate-resilient lives.
We’ve teamed up with artist Lauren Cook to illustrate one way to help achieve this!
This animation explains how making space for water can pave our way to a wilder future.
With thanks to ‪@consanoearth‬ for their support.
Animation by ‪@lauren_colours‬ for Beaver Trust, created with stop-motion animated illustrations.
Narrated by Maddie Moate.
Script by Lauren Cook, Eva Bishop and Sophie Pavelle.
Sounds from ZapSplat.com and xeno-canto.org.

Bless you for caring for Beavers. It is a joyous thing that we have these beautiful miracle workers back in our countryside. All the Beaver Believers out there.....spread the word!! Care for and protect our Beavers and in return they will do what they were born to do. They will restore and preserve essential habitats, including human habitats.
