10 Oct 2023  |  www.cbc.ca
London has welcomed its first baby beaver in centuries, a significant milestone for local ecologists and conservationists. The beaver kit, born in the Forty Hall Estate in North London, marks a successful step in the beaver reintroduction program led by Capel Manor College. Beavers, once hunted to near-extinction in Britain, are being reintroduced for their ecological benefits, including flood management and biodiversity enhancement. Despite some concerns from farmers about potential negative impacts, advocates like Rewilding Britain emphasize the overall positive effects of beavers on the environment. The U.K. government, however, has not prioritized species reintroduction, creating a point of contention among ecologists and campaigners.

London welcomes its first baby beaver in centuries
01 Aug 2023  |  www.cbc.ca
A baby beaver, or kit, believed to be the first born in London in centuries, was spotted at the Forty Hall Estate in North London. The sighting was part of a beaver reintroduction program led by Capel Manor College. Beavers were hunted to near-extinction in Britain during Elizabethan times but are now being reintroduced for their ecological benefits, including flood management and biodiversity. The U.K. government has not prioritized species reintroduction, despite the potential benefits and the 30 by 30 initiative to protect and restore 30% of land by 2030. The baby beaver, named Baby Bevan, is seen regularly on camera and will be examined by a veterinarian once older.
Adrian Stimson's bison paintings force viewers to reckon with Canada's colonial history
16 May 2023  |  www.cbc.ca
Alberta Indigenous artist Adrian Stimson's solo European exhibit, 'Manifest Buffalo: A Bison Dream,' opened in London, aiming to spark dialogue about Canada's colonial history with Indigenous people. The exhibition features 36 paintings that reimagine the bison in various scenes, symbolizing the past, present, and future. The exhibit, held at Gurr Johns, marks a significant departure from the traditional art typically showcased on Pall Mall. The High Commission of Canada in the UK supported the event, emphasizing the role of arts in advancing Indigenous reconciliation. Stimson's work, including his Blackfoot name Little Brown Boy and his alter ego Buffalo Boy, reflects the cultural significance of the bison to First Nations and addresses the historical trauma of colonization while celebrating the resilience of Indigenous peoples.
Why some Welsh people think Charles should have been the last Prince of Wales
15 Jan 2023  |  cbc.ca
The investiture of the Prince of Wales is a contentious issue in Wales, with many viewing it as a symbol of historical oppression following the conquest by Edward I of England. The title, held by the heir apparent to the English throne for over 700 years, is seen by some as a reminder of subjugation. The recent passing of the title to Prince William sparked debate and a motion to abolish it was passed in Gwynedd county. While some Welsh citizens view the monarchy as an integral part of their identity, others, including Welsh independence advocates and those with a strong Welsh identity, see it as outdated and disrespectful. Prince William has no current plans for an investiture ceremony and aims to understand Welsh issues, but opposition remains strong among those who feel the title is inherently disrespectful.
