Government agencies dragging their heels on restoring the keystone species, say campaigners

Three-quarters of Scots want Scotland’s public bodies to step up action on beaver reintroductions, according to research conducted for the Scottish Rewilding Alliance.

But agencies are not delivering on a Scottish Government call on them to lead in moving beavers to new areas – resulting in more than two years of inaction and indecision, and missed opportunities for local communities, says the alliance.

In polling carried out by independent research agency Survation, 73% of respondents said Scotland’s public bodies should identify more sites on their land where beavers could live.
