Bringing beavers back to Wales
Beavers will help nature recover in Wales!
Beavers are very special animals because they play a vital role in restoring and managing river and wetland ecosystems. This creates diverse habitats for other species to thrive, benefiting a wide range of other animals and plants. Beavers are often referred to as a ‘keystone species’ or ‘nature’s engineers’ because of the positive impact they can have on the environment.

Our ten priority species
A biodiverse, healthy, functioning ecosystem depends on a vast variety of species of course, but by spotlighting a small number, we are far better able to measure impact and engage others in targetted action. Each of our selected species occur in Gwent, are threatened and feature in the Greater Gwent State of Nature Report (2021.)
