The Welsh Government is to recognise beavers as a native species and award them full legal protection. This is great news for this wonderful mammal, which can help us restore our river and freshwater habitats. tinyurl.com/53yh5kj8

We are pleased to announce @joycewatson.org.uk as the first beaver species champion. In July Joyce and @carolynthomasms.bsky.social visited #DyfiWildlifeCentre to talk about #beavers, we even caught a glimpse of Barti the adult male beaver in the evening.

The sighting of a wild beaver has been described by @iolowilliams.bsky.social as one of his very best wildlife sightings in Wales in his new 'River Valleys' programme. We were invited to talk about it on BBC News this week.

Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries Exclusive: Government to grant nature groups a licence for release of rodent species after earlier setbacks

We are really pleased to hear the news from England; licences for wild releases will now be allowed 🎉 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In Wales we are continuing to develop our proposals for a wild release, welshbeaverproject.org.

The Welsh Beaver Project (@beaverafanc) is led by the Wildlife Trusts in Wales and is working to bring wild beavers back to Wales. We look forward to sharing our project updates with you.
