Beaver Activists' Covert Releases Stir UK Conservation Debate

Under the cover of darkness, UK activists are secretly releasing beavers into the wild, a practice known as 'beaver bombings.' This covert reintroduction aims to restore ecosystems but clashes with legal frameworks, as unlicensed releases are illegal and raise concerns about potential flooding and agricultural damage.
Despite the risks of arrest and fines, these activists believe they're 'doing God's work' by undoing centuries of ecological damage. However, the National Farmers Union deems such actions 'irresponsible,' citing potential harm to farmland and infrastructure. The debate underscores the complex balance between environmental restoration and legal compliance.
Beavers, once extinct in Britain for 400 years, are now at the center of a heated discussion on conservation methods and the legality of wildlife reintroduction efforts.
