The Independent highlights critical stories, including the remarkable return of wild beavers to Wales after a 400-year absence due to extinction. Naturalist Iolo Williams encountered a wild beaver on the River Dyfi, emphasizing the historical significance of its presence, as the last sightings were during the time of the Welsh princes. This resurgence reflects broader environmental recovery efforts, though the exact wild population remains uncertain. The team's commitment to quality journalism, free from paywalls, enables the public access to crucial information on important issues like conservation and reproductive rights.
It's hugely significant... The last people to see wild beavers in Wales would have been the Welsh princes, who would have hunted them.
Iâve seen some incredible wildlife in Wales... this ranks up there, not just with the best, but as the very, very best.
