Rewilding the land: should we reintroduce beavers?
Since the dawn of time, Earth has been inhabited by communities of humans and wild animals. However, as humans have populated more and more land, the Eurasian beaver’s world has shrunk, leading to their eventual decline. In this discussion, we examine reasons why beavers should be reintroduced to England and Wales, in comparison with arguments against this effort to rewild the land.
In Scotland, there are currently two populations of beavers, named as a protected species by the Scottish government in 2016. Beavers survive by eating a varied herbivorous diet: aquatic grasses from rivers; herbaceous plants and shrubs; woody plants such as birch and tree bark during winter. Research shows that this has had a positive effect on their environment there: beavers ‘coppice’ trees by gnawing on stems, the regrowth consequently providing homes for insects and birds.
On the other hand, many claim this situation to be a hindrance. Farmers and crop growers firmly believe that beavers, along with other rodents, are a nuisance: their natural behaviour of gnawing trees also leads them to damage crops. Agricultural professionals argue that if beavers were to be reintroduced, it would negatively impact the quality of their produce, therefore having a detrimental effect on economies over time.
A further argument in favour of reinstating beavers is often debated, and for good reason. Beavers build their lodges by damming streams: this creates wetland areas, acting as sponges for rainwater. According to the RSPB, this not only helps to control the speed of water flow, but also reduces the chance of flash flooding. In addition to this, beaver dams can offer a nature-based solution for many other issues: capturing organic sediments; reducing the effects of agricultural runoff and holding back harmful pesticides.
This argument, however, is not shared by all. Some experts have announced their concerns that if beavers were to be reintroduced, their populations would spread too quickly, as they do not remain in one place. They claim that beavers would move from rural areas to villages, towns and cities: it is the belief of some that they would come into conflict with land management and man-made flood defences. Furthermore, some parties feel that fisheries would be affected by beavers.
In conclusion, it is clear to see that there are many significant points to consider over reintroducing beavers to England and Wales. Management decisions must take into account the conservation status of the beaver, as well as the perceived problems they are said to be causing. It is evident that responsible attitudes must be adopted in order to preserve and protect these creatures, and that a compromise must be found before action is taken.
