The Government should compensate farmers or land managers when “high-risk” species are introduced that could damage land or livelihoods, a House of Commons committee has said.
Along with a national strategy for reintroductions in which priority species would be identified, the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee said compensation should help alleviate concerns of farmers who may be affected by effects such as beavers creating dams and wetland.
It said the current system is “overly bureaucratic” when it comes to reintroducing low-risk species including plants, fungi and insects and that there should be a long-term vision for the species the Government supports and justification for the ones it does not. Chair of the committee, Sir Robert Goodwill, said: “The current arrangements for reintroducing species are completely inadequate.
As part of its inquiry, the committee visited Bavaria to see how farmers have been living with beavers since their reintroduction in the 1960s. A Defra spokesperson said: “We will carefully consider this report’s recommendations into species reintroductions and will respond to the committee in due course.”
