Der Biber

After its near-total extinction, the beaver is now widespread in large parts of Germany. However, its spread is not always conflict-free, as humans and beavers use water areas differently. On the other hand, the beaver has enormous potential for nature and environmental protection. How can the benefits of the beaver be better utilized while also reducing conflicts? This book presents solutions and measures for beaver management. It serves as a guide for dealing with beavers, providing a comprehensive overview of the spread in Germany and their role in water development as well as habitat and species diversity.
