Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries | Conservation

The launch of the channels in the English waterways for the first time in the centuries, can reveal the Guardian.

Minister of Environment, Steve ReedIt is the announcement that nature groups will be able to obtain a license for the issue. First versions can occur this fall.

Even about 20 years ago, rodents in Britain became extinct for 400 years, after they were hunted for their fur, meat and smell oil. But in recent years, Al -Qanades has returned to our waterways through licensed publications in containers and some illegal publications. It is estimated that there are about 500 live in the wilderness in England.

Candese creates useful habitats for wildlife, reduce floods by dismantling waterways, slowing water flow and creating swimming pools still.

The government will put a new approach that allows the canals to live. Issue projects will need to determine a 10 -year plan to show where and how it will have an impact on the scene.

It is understood that there Hesitation After the release of Al -Qanades, Red Plan was stopped from No. 10 due to fears, it was a conservative legacy that could unnecessarily disturb farmers. After the Guardian reported this ban on politics, there was a cry from wildlife groups. Defra has been in recent days given the green light of the advertisement.

It is understood that the Ministry of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has presented representations of Dowong Street that the Quds can be part of the Labor Party The task of growthBecause rodents work free to build infrastructure and restore nature. Hands recently The Czech government saved a million pounds by building a dam.

Richard Pinwell, CEO Wildlife And the ties of the countryside, welcomed the news. He said: “Restore nature means restoring full ecosystems, and a few can overcome the beaver in helping to restore life to life.”

“These beloved animals can help restore rivers and wetlands and reduce floods and dehydration. Environmental engineering creates wonderful diverse habitats for local communities and wildlife. It is time for wild versions and excellent for the government to make progress.”

There are ready -to -go beating plans. One of these plans is national confidence Purbeck Heaths A project version in Dorset, and Wildlife Trusts includes Devon and Cornwall sites where you want to launch the channel.

This week, the President of the National Farms Federation, Tom Bradcho, said that farmers should be able to kill the unbridled channels: “You must have the final control method in its place. If it ends in the wrong place, this fatal control must be part of the ability to re -introduce these species on a broader scale.”

The current plans, which were published under the previous government, indicate that such deadly control will allow them as a last shelter. The Guardian realizes that publishing plans will unintentionally include support for farmers who have the unintentionally overwhelmed by Al -Qanadus. The goal is to carefully manage it to avoid the negative impact on agriculture and food production and infrastructure.

This policy is nearly a decade. Former Minister of Environment Conservative Party Michael Goff It announced the trial of Bever’s edition in 2017. In 2020, the results of the trial of the land channels On the Otter River in Devon It found that it reduces floods in local settlements and habitats that created an increasing biological diversity, as well as the size of local fish.

But pressure from agricultural groups and landowners made successive governments tense to allow the signing of the release plan.

Zach Goldsmith, the former conservative peer and minister of the environment, tried when he was in office to obtain governments to give the green light to the publications of the beaver.

He said: “It is a wonderful thing that this will be finally resolved. It should not take long. The beaver has a semi -magical effect on the environment, where it maintains water, greatly enhances the biological diversity and brings joy to our loving fans in nature. Governments are always cautious but the issue of Qudds cannot be more clear.”
