Hunted to extinction in the 16th century, wild beavers are making a comeback in England after a five-year study demonstrated their positive impact on the environment.
from the University of Exeter — published in February this year — showed that beavers act as natural"engineers," improving the environment in ways that far outweigh the cost to a small number of landowners who opposed them.
Peter Burgess, Director of Conservation at Devon Wildlife Trust — one of the organizations involved in the trial — called the decision “ground-breaking.” Some landowners opposed the trial over fears that farming could be harmed by beavers altering the watercourse. The U.K. government pledged to reward rural landowners with a new rural subsidy scheme that will replace its European Union equivalent after the Brexit transition period concludes in January.
