The UK has granted permission for the release of beavers int

According to a recent report by the Daily Mail, the UK government has officially launched a permit system that allows beavers to be released back into rural wilderness. This is the first time since the 16th century that Britain has reintroduced this type of dam building rodent into the natural environment with official permission. Beavers became extinct in the UK due to human hunting of their meat, fur, and scent glands, and their return is now seen as an important milestone in ecological conservation.

The reintroduction of beavers has received widespread support from nature conservationists. Supporters believe that beavers, as "ecosystem engineers," can provide habitats for other wildlife by building dams, forming ponds and wetlands, while helping to prevent floods, purify river systems, and store water resources during droughts.

The government stated that farmers and landowners in beaver habitats will receive support to ensure that the return of beavers does not have negative impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.
