Beaver Protection, Management, and Utilization in Europe and North America

Discover the transformative journey of beaver populations in "Beaver Protection, Management, and Utilization in Europe and North America" by Peter E. Busher. Published by Springer-Verlag New York Inc. in 2012, this insightful paperback spans 182 pages and delves into the historical context of beaver extirpation by the end of the 19th century. As the 20th century progressed, innovative protection, management, and reintroduction programs, alongside a reduced demand for beaver fur, have contributed to a remarkable resurgence of these species. This comprehensive work not only highlights the ecological significance of beavers but also addresses the strategies that have successfully restored their populations across Europe and North America. Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, conservationists, and academics alike, this book serves as a vital resource for understanding the complexities of beaver management and their role in our ecosystems.
