Two years ago, beavers were officially recognised as native species in England... but why are they still waiting to return to the wild? 🐾 The Wildlife Trusts want to see beavers in every major river catchment. We’re asking the UK and Welsh Government to... ✒ Issue licenses to let this happen 🚜 Reward farmers for beaver wetlands 📃 Publish a reintroduction strategy 💚Confirm all beavers can remain in England and Wales Beavers make our world wilder simply by being themselves. Studies have shown that beavers improve water quality in wetlands, stabilise water flow and give a huge boost to habitats. Let’s bring this keystone species back! https://lnkd.in/enxrF2yC
