Experiencing Interruptions?

Beavers and the Ecosystem Approach

This film highlights the role that beavers can play in improving nature. It starts by defining an ecosystem, talks about the approach and then the different things that beavers can do. It also identifies problems that come with reintroductions of beavers, but summarises that we need them back. It involves experts, kids and some great beaver footage.

Director Statement

Beavers were made extinct in the UK over 400 years ago by man's greed, and through loss of habitat. They have now been reintroduced to Scotland and parts of England, with incredible benefits for nature. They ARE nature's engineers and we need them back.
