Changes since last beaver license application
Since the last licence application, the Scottish Government signalled its intent to reintroduce the beaver in the 2007 Species Action Framework.
This provides a strategic approach to species management in Scotland – the plan identifies 32 species requiring targeted management and action.
Two reintroductions were included – the white tailed eagle and European beaver. The aim is to reintroduce at least one population of beavers in the wild in Scotland.
