Abstract
Beavers are the largest species ever to be reintroduced to Scotland and have been exerting their “ecosystem engineering” for 20 years to boost biodiversity and restore lost environmental linkages. However, this has not been a smooth ride. By drawing together Dr. Law's research from the last 20 years, his talk will detail the successes, failures, highs and lows of what it has taken to bring this species back and what it means for future biodiversity recovery in Scotland and beyond.
