Knapdale beavers
The Knapdale beavers are a population of European beavers reintroduced to the Knapdale area in Scotland in 2009. This project aimed to restore the ecological balance and enhance biodiversity in the region. Beavers are known for their dam-building skills, which create wetland habitats that benefit various plant and animal species.
These beavers play a crucial role in their ecosystem by improving water quality and creating habitats for fish and birds. Their presence has sparked interest in wildlife conservation and has led to ongoing studies to monitor their impact on the environment and local communities.
