      Over the 20th century, they were given legal protection and deliberately reintroduced in multiple countries. From there, they spread naturally along rivers and wetlands, often going unnoticed at first.

      By 2021, beavers had returned to large parts of Europe, especially across Central, Eastern, and Northern regions.

      Not to be that guy, but without a legend, you could read it as the yellow representing where they used to be and the red showing where they now no longer reside.

      Does the prevalence of synthetic castoreum for food and fragrances have something to do with that or are Europeans just stocking the pool with a fresh sources of Natural Castor Oil?

      There’s a big river going through my city Nemunas, I see a lot of trees along the river wrapped in plastic?, they have clearly been gnawed by beavers. Sad part it’s nice park areas along the river. Also it makes me think how ambitious that one beaver was thinking he could build a damn on a huge river by himself lol

      In the case of Finland they are unforunately North American beavers instead of European beavers.

      How much of colonization of North America was due to this collapse in European beavers. Would Canada even exist as an independent nation?

      Stockholm should be red, there’s literal beavers swimming in the city centre

      Since 2021, beavers have been found in Central and Southern Italy as well, but the best thing about this is that this is not the result of a planned effort for reintroducing the species in its native range.

      [Someone is smuggling beavers around the peninsula.](http://www.italian-journal-of-mammalogy.it/The-strange-case-of-beaver-return-in-Italy-origins-and-management,177953,0,2.html)

      Ant not once, but repeatedly.

      There must be some sort of beaver-smuggling ecoMafia that has one single purpose: bring beavers back. Or maybe a single, very motivated individual that dreams of an Italy full of beavers. Either option is good.

      Reintroduced just this week to within five miles of my house in Southern England. Nice beaver!

      Or, in 1900, nobody documented all places where beavers could be found yet

      Switzerland, hold my beer. Here, everything is immediately shot down as soon as it’s in sight.

      I hate this map because it shows the old version of the Netherlands, it looks quite different in shape, we also have beavers btw but I don’t see it coloured in

      How come? Did we completely kill all the bevers in the 1800’s or are they not native in europe?
