LONDON: Beavers are to be reintroduced in two parts of Britain as part of plans to help control flooding, the National Trust announced on Wednesday.

Beavers were hunted out of existence in Britain in the 16th century because of demand for their fur, meat and scent glands. Beavers in river catchment areas would “help make our landscape more resilient to climate change and the extremes of weather it will bring”, Eardley said. They will all be introduced in fenced-off woodland areas. Experts will then monitor changes to the habitat that result.
