Remember your media literacy training. One source is not enough. Make sure to type, "beavers gone wild" into your search engine to verify these claims. If you're running short on time, you can just do it at work.

Confirmed. I'm seeing sources from the BBC, Guardian, Independent, and gov.uk.

Can’t discriminate against beavers, they deserve the same opportunities.

Inb4 the Daily Fail comes up with some anti beaver rhetoric.

jk's aside such a huge win for British rewilding, I've been following a few of the projects and other than the inevitable clash that's going to happen with the usuals it looks like a net positive for our countryside.

"Fanuary" was last month, but I strongly approve of it being every month...

Meanwhile in the USA our government is trying to strip wildlife of protections and conservation status so they can expand mining and milling operations

Imagine finally being allowed to live free in your country where you lived before apes moved in.
