flag Scotland seeks to reintroduce beavers to Glen Affric to boost biodiversity and reduce floods.

flag Forestry and Land Scotland has applied to NatureScot to reintroduce beavers to Glen Affric in Scotland, following a two-year consultation with local communities. flag Beavers were driven to extinction in Scotland around 400 years ago, but were reintroduced in 2016 and recognized as a protected species in 2019. flag If approved, the beavers would be released in spring 2025. flag The move aims to boost biodiversity, carbon dioxide absorption, and flood reduction. flag A monitoring and mitigation group will be established to address community concerns.
