     Beavers to return to Loch Ness after nearly 500 years; 15 families approved

     In an exciting development, wild beavers are about to return to Loch Ness after centuries of absence. The Scottish nature agency NatureScot has sanctioned their release as part of a transformative rewilding project. Over the next three years, conservationists will introduce family groups of beavers to the area’s waterways, focusing on enhancing biodiversity and wildlife habitats, while also implementing strategies to resolve any conflicts with local farmers and landowners.
