We are incredibly disappointed in the decision of No 10 to overrule the scientific decision to release beavers into our waters as reported by The Guardian
We would like to ask you to read and share with your local MP this letter written by 49 UK organisations regarding wild beaver release and National Strategy.
We would also like to ask our UK followers to write to your MP to back the Climate and Nature Bill which has its second reading on 24th January. This Bill is a Labour Bill and sits in the face of the No. 10 decision, to stall wild beaver reintroduction, it states the aim that the UK:
"halts and reverses its overall contribution to the degradation and loss of nature in the United Kingdom and overseas by—
(i) increasing the health, abundance, diversity and resilience of 20 species, populations, habitats and ecosystems so that by 2030, and measured against a baseline of 2020, nature is visibly and measurably on the path of recovery"
The full Bill is listed here:

We are also disturbed to hear of further moves to relax protection of European wolves which have slowly been recovering their historic range thanks to their protected status.
#EuropeanWolves suffered a major blow just before Christmas when their protected status was downgraded. European nations with wolf populations are further damaging their wolf populations by allowing hunting and shooting of wolf populations. You can join hundreds of thousands of Europeans and sign this petition.
And you can learn more about coexistence with wolves by visiting the Waterbear page which has some wonderful films you can watch for free and additional information about these incredible creatures.
