Welcome back, beavers. 🦫
We are thrilled to support the Government’s decision to allow the reintroduction of beavers into the wild in England.

Two weeks ago, a historic release at Nene Wetlands welcomed Northants’ first beavers in 400 years.
We caught up with @wildlifebcn at the release to hear more about this milestone moment 🎥👇

10 years, 4 #beaver wetlands, 24 million litres of water!
Research led by @UniofExeter and DWT show that, together, four beaver-created wetlands have stored more than 24 million litres of water - the equivalent of around 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

⚠️ Beavers in England are at risk ⚠️ Yesterday, UK Gov reneged on their commitment to give them legal protection. This is yet another broken promise. RT to join us in letting @VictoriaPrentis @DefraGovUK know that it’s not good enough. (1/4) wildlifetrusts.org/news/beav…

Did you know that relocated #beavers raise the water table, store surface water, keep streams cold in summer, & help protect salmon in their new homes? All within the first couple years of moving in!

Awesome new study from @Ben_Dittbrenner et al!

A very cool educational video on how #beavers flooding the landscape and making ponds can actually be a really good thing, especially with increasingly intense drought, fire, & flood!
Also, LOVE the header image of a family sitting on a giant beav raft.

Beavers have been re-introduced to London for the first time in more than 400 years!
A beautiful pair have been successfully released at @Forty_Hall as part of a pioneering project launched by @EnfieldCouncil & @capelmanor with support from our restoration team.

Great to see @EnfieldCouncil welcome beavers to their wetlands as part of a series of projects designed to help rewild the area. 🦫
Today City Hall has awarded ÂŁ600,000 from our Rewild London Fund to projects across our city that will help restore nature.

Beavers play a key role in restoring nature.
@DefraGovUK are launching a consultation to seek views on a cautious approach to the release and management of beavers into the wild in England, supported by our expertise and evidence.

We love a bit of science here on #Winterwatch... A new paper by @AlanPuttock from @UniofExeter shows that beavers can reduce the flow of water in even the wettest weather. Tune in now on @BBCTwo as @gillians_voice explains more about these magnificent mammals...

It's quite amazing that the population of Eurasian beaver have went from ~1200 to ~1.5 million in a century!

Ever look up at night and feel small? Don't. Instead feel large. Atoms in our bodies trace to the remnants of exploded stars. We are Stardust. We are alive in the universe. And the universe is alive within us.

Excited to publish our beaver-amphibian review. Spoiler alert endangered amphibians need beaver habitats!
