Scottish Government makes U-turn on Beaver shooting and now supports translocations

Following the successful judicial review by Trees for Life who challenged the shooting of Beavers, the Scottish Government has made a complete U-turn and has confirmed that it now supports translocation over lethal control.

Trees for Life - Breakthrough for Scotland’s Beavers a win for nature, climate and farmers

This is a massive and very welcome result for all those campaigners who have spent considerable time and effort to force the Scottish Government to change its policy.

Beavers are remarkable animals. These habitat-creating, biodiversity-boosting, flood-preventing eco-system engineers bring so many benefits to the environment, other wildlife and ourselves …. See SS15 wildlife watching: Beavers United? and SS15 wildlife watching: Beavers to make "cautious" return to England

Now we just need the Westminster Government after so much time waiting and waiting to at last confirm the return of Beavers to England.
