Two orphaned beavers have been given a new home in a rewilding enclosure in Devon.
The male and female, who were rescued from culling in Scotland, have been settling in at Poole Farm, Plymouth, for four weeks and have already begun to transform the landscape.
This is the second time that beavers have been introduced to Poole Farm, after a previous pair escaped due to storm damage and one was killed by a car.
Plymouth City Council said it had since reinforced the enclosure to prevent further incidents.
Red deer release strengthens recovering population in the Velebit Mountains
A herd of 10 red deer have just been released in the Velebit Mountains rewilding landscape in Croatia. As part of an ongoing restocking programme, the release will help to restore the population across the landscape to a more healthy level, with benefits for wild nature and local communities.
We celebrate the top 10 rewilding moments in 2023, from the birth of London’s first beaver kit to the opening of the world’s first ever rewilding centre, in the Highlands.
Celebrating Birds and Their Habitats Conserved in 2023: Reversing Bird Population Declines
A Look Back at American Bird Conservancy’s Results in Reversing Bird Population Declines This Year
The massive loss of migratory birds requires a huge response, and that's what ABC accomplishes through our BirdScapes approach. Working with a network of partners across the United States and into Latin America and the Caribbean, ABC implements conservation across core breeding, stopover, and wintering areas for priority species. To date, we have defined 100 BirdScapes and undertaken conservation action in 45 of them. Working closely with the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures (JVs) and other partners, we have together positively impacted 9.3 million acres of habitat for declining bird species, including the Cerulean Warbler and Western Meadowlark.
Celebrating Birds and Their Habitats Conserved in 2023: Reducing Threats and Building the Bird Conservation Movement
A Look Back at ABC’s Results in Reducing Threats to Birds and Building the Bird Conservation Movement This Year
ABC is committed to addressing key threats to birds so that habitats are healthier and more safe. Working with policymakers, partner groups, and the private sector, we develop and implement solutions to large-scale causes of bird mortality, along with precedent-setting or critical regional bird problems. Our tactics include advocacy, grassroots outreach, the development of new technologies, and – if a problem can't be resolved in any other way – legal action.
