Commenting on the Government announcement on wild releases of beavers in England, Richard Benwell, CEO at Wildlife and Countryside Link, said:
"Restoring nature means restoring whole ecosystems, and few can beat the beaver in helping bring landscapes to life. These much-loved animals can help restore rivers and wetlands and reduce flooding and drought. Their eco-engineering creates diverse habitats that are great for local communities and for wildlife. It's high time for wild releases and excellent that the government is making progress."
