Beavers in Spain

[clive Grazalema]

With the news about beavers being found in Jaen province along the Guadalquivir river, here is a bit of background and up to date info about the species in Spain. https://wildsideholidays.co.uk/reviving-rivers-the-remarkable-return-of-european-beavers-to-the-iberian-peninsula/

In 2003, unauthorized beaver reintroductions occurred in the Ebro river basin in Spain. These beavers, protected since 2011, have since expanded into new areas, including the Douro and Tagus basins. Recently, there have been sightings of beavers in the Tormes river, near the Portuguese border, suggesting a potential return to Portugal after extinction in the Middle Ages.
