💨 Abstract

Activists in the UK are secretly releasing beavers into the wild, claiming they are restoring nature. Eurasian beavers, once extinct in the UK, are considered "nature's engineers" for their environmental benefits, such as cleaning water and preventing flooding. However, farmers and landowners worry about property damage. The government aims to develop wildlife-rich habitats by 2042 and has a new licensing system for beaver releases.
