In my opinion, rewilding is one of the most important things we can do for wildlife. Creating resilient ecosystem diversity is vital for the conservation of an area. In Scotland beavers were reintroduced with high hopes of them aiding in rewilding the land.

The choice regarding beavers was down to there remarkable ability to naturally rewild an area. Doing so by creating many different habitats that are vital for invertebrates, species know to be essential to ecosystems, as well as improving water quality through daming. #nature

Unfortunately, the reintroduced beavers are under threat from conflict. There natural behaviour gets them into bother with agriculture such as when dambed rivers overflow and destroy crops. The number of beavers killed by farmers had been increasing.

The conflict became extreme enough that at one point it was legal for farmers to kill protected beavers. Luckily, new strategies are arising with plans to move in conflict beavers to a different location.

In my opinion, this has been a lesson for conservation efforts. Their reintroduction resulted in many being culled. For a species of such important significance it’s a tragic outcome. It’s clear Scotland was not yet ready to bring back beavers. I hope this mistakes not repeated
