New figures show that 90% of beavers removed from conflict areas in Tayside in 2023/24 were moved to new homes after a huge effort by NatureScot and partners to relocate families and help expand the population across Scotland.

The latest report on beaver management shows that 85 beavers were removed to prevent serious damage to agriculture in the period from January 2023 to April 2024 – down from 108 in 2022.

Of these, 77 animals were trapped and moved to licensed projects, compared with 45 in the previous year. Just eight beavers were killed under licence over the 16-month period, down from 63 in the calendar year 2022.
