Loss and Reintroduction of Beavers

Some explanation of the importance of beavers and how reintroduction is going in Eurasia.

Beavers

In North America, beavers are a keystone species. They influence the movement of rivers, and thus, impact many other species in biological communities. They provide food to species they are prey of, and change the landscape with their own eating habits.

The dams they create increase sizes of ponds and can become wetlands - increasing the habitat space for other species. This also increases biodiversity by allowing plants that thrive in flooded areas to emerge while reducing flood risks by holding back large build-ups of water1. Additionally, dams are important filters for downstream water. Water run-off from urban and agricultural areas often carry harmful amounts of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus, which are primary sources of algal blooms - an occurrence that often results in a lot of fish dying. Beaver dams help filter these excess nutrients from going downstream, making it cleaner2.

The functions of dams could be done by human intervention and innovation, and in many places are, but beavers are completely content to create and maintain dams, why not let them? They are useful aside from dams, anyway, as they also serve the important role as a herbivore and a prey animal for other species.

Gone from Eurasia

For centuries, beavers have been highly important to humans, as well. The Eurasian beaver, also called the European beaver, was hunted extensively for its fur, meat, and castoreum, which is used in fragrances and food. They became extinct in England, Wales, and Scotland by the 1500s3. By 1900, the population was about 1,200 individuals in Europe.

These losses resulted in biodiversity and habitat quality loss for Eurasian countries. Multiple studies have reported on lower plant diversity, increases in dominant plant species foliage cover, lower invertebrate diversity, and many other impacts as a result of the absence of beavers4. Many studies, however, specifically reflect on the impact of beaver loss in the context of reintroduction.

Reintroduction

The Eurasian beaver now has an estimated population of 1.2 million5. The IUCN Red List last assessed it in 2016 and it is in the “Least Concern” category6. 

Eurasian beaver reintroduction has taken place in many countries to varying degrees, including France, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland7. Many countries, like France and Poland, faced issues relating to a lack of coordination with other official parties and establishing procedures to ensure the success of the reintroduced animals7. In other places such as Latvia and the Netherlands, reintroduction faced issues associated with human activity, like damage to crops and drainage canals7. These down sides are more of a result of continual habitat loss for wild species as opposed to a problem with the animals themselves.

The benefits of reintroduction have been extensive. In places like Scotland, reduced downstream levels of phosphorus and nitrogen because of dams have been observed, as well as the presence of organisms indicative of enriched conditions9.

In Britain, reintroduction trials have resulted in increased biodiversity in plant and animal species, and more diverse landscapes that support different wildlife and human activities11.

There are also some unintended benefits of beaver reintroduction. A study in Sweden reflects on the unexpected irruption of the beaver population, which is usually expected to not occur because the species faces the same aboriginal factors that regulated their numbers before extinction8. Witnessing the irruption of the Sweden beaver populations led researchers to more closely assess the relevant environmental factors and theorize that wolves might be the missing aboriginal factor that would have limited the beaver population8. Reintroducing and monitoring beavers in Sweden raised further awareness and knowledge about how the environment might have been kept in check before human alteration. It lifted new questions and information that can be used in further research and theorizing.

Tourism is another factor not as frequently considered with beaver reintroduction. Wildlife tourism can be a dissenting topic because of its history of environmental damage and intrusion in ecosystems. But more recent research has enabled it to become less intrusive and able to help people learn about the environment without harming it. In Great Britain, one study found tourism to see a reintroduced population of beavers has been economically beneficial to the local community10. Many people now actively seek out positive experiences with the environment, especially when it involves cute rodents. Fortunately, this provides more reason for environmental initiatives to protect and improve the ecosystems around us.

Reintroduction takes decades if not centuries. After hundreds of years without a major species, ecosystems need time to readjust. Additionally, animal species cannot be simply classified as ‘good’ or ‘bad’. They can be invasive in some places, and even in their endemic habitat might sometimes be deleterious. The spread of human influence and activity complicates the relationship that beavers have with their environment. But data and current experiences indicate that beavers are ultimately crucial to many ecosystems. We will likely continue to see these benefits as environments readjust.

Hey Lost, do you have any trans Eruri fic recs?

Hey Anon, one of my all time favourite fics features trans Levi, Irascible by bigasstrees and revai-lution, and I can also highly recommend Marooned by @ackbang. Marooned is unfinished, but it's definitely worth reading.

I know there have been a lot of Trans Eruri fics written recently, which I haven't been able to keep up with, so I asked around on Twitter and got an amazing response. Huge thanks to everyone who replied.
