In the Netherlands beavers had been hunted into extinction by mid 20th century (I don't know exactly when they went extinct). In the 80s beavers were reintroduced from the DDR and now there are over 5000 beavers in the country. In western Germany populations have been rising too, and these are just what I know from the top of my head.

Beavers are definitely doing great right now around the world and that is uplifting news indeed!
