Delay. Delay. Delay. We are extremely concerned that wild beavers are being put at risk as protections – expected to be laid in parliament today – are put on hold. Legal protection would make deliberately harming beavers an offence in England. https://t.co/gZtC82RSli (1/4)
I’m voting in the Honiton and Tiverton by-election today. And I’m afraid I’m going to break a pledge I made a year ago, when I joined the Green Party. I said I was fed up of voting tactically and made a commitment to vote Green at every opportunity. ⬇️

The success of DWT's River Otter Beaver Trial resulted in the River Otter beavers being allowed to stay and thrive. We could see the benefits beavers bring extended to other rivers in England. Find out more about the new @DefraGovUK beaver consultation 👉 https://t.co/3ecQNmoCp4
What a busy week. Many good things. The best was a boy about 10, whom I met with his parents by the side of the River Otter in Devon. He’d just seen an adult Beaver & two kits. He was fired up, excited, & evidently just seen something that will shape his world view. Very good.
Did you know beavers became extinct in Britain over 400 years ago?
We’re launching a consultation to seek views on our cautious approach to the release and management of beavers into the wild in England.

Trying to stoke fear of beaver attacks also silly - beavers can indeed be "territorial and aggressive" - to each other, not to humans! Your report also seems to be ignoring or overlooking what I would consider some highly relevant research on the effects of beavers on salmonids.
