Two pairs of beavers released in Cornwall by wildlife trust
- On Monday, Cornwall Wildlife Trust released beavers at a trust nature reserve in mid-Cornwall within the Par and Fowey river catchment.
- Historically, beavers were extinct from the wild in England more than 400 years ago, and conservationists say they are increasingly recognised as a keystone species shaping ecosystems.
- Trust staff added they will monitor and support landowners and farmers as they learn to live alongside beavers again.
- CWT staff say they are optimistic about rapid ecological changes and acknowledge challenges, but they believe beavers will support threatened species if given the chance.
- The reintroduction followed three years of planning and consultation preceding the government's decision to allow wild releases in England, which Cornwall Wildlife Trust called a `landmark moment` for nature recovering in Cornwall and nationally.
