Sadiq Khan leads ambitious plans to rewild Hyde Park

London mayor releases 600,000 funding to help create green rooftops and reintroduce lost species

Hyde Park could be redesigned and lost species including beavers reintroduced to London under ambitious rewilding plans.

The city's mayor, Sadiq Khan, is working with Ben Goldsmith - a member of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the brother of Khan's former rival for the mayoral election Zac Goldsmith - to boost nature in the capital, including making the royal parks wilder and encouraging people to plant green rooftops.
