Not much to say yet, although they are still working on it. That comedian at Alladale has set the whole idea back some way.

Broadly, he wants to create a sort of luxury hunting/wildlife park, with wolves, bears etc that pays lip-sevice to conservation & has campaigned strongly for it.
The image of any reintroduction with high fences, towers & "secure" observation points have done the rest of us no favours in public/political eyes.

Are we allowed to hunt it...?
IME Beavers are nasty flea ridden / rabies carrying little things. Not only can they give you a good nip but boats have to specially treated so beavers don't knaw through the hull and sink them. (And then there's the environmental damage from their dams...)

I believe it's a verb. It used to be on the t-shirts and hats of revellers on the late night show The Hitman and Her.

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
Our wildlands, where the fuck are they? I think we have every right to wander about the countryside without being attacked by some large carnivore. Your "landowners", presumably rich shits who like the idea of keeping lesser people off the the land they lay claim to, and having a little bit of biggish game to shoot occasionally. Not so different from the way in East Africa that the interests of Western tourists and the fancy animals they like to chase in landrovers are given priority over the basic needs of local people. Wolves and beavers in this countriy should stay either in the zoo or on a hanger in the wardrobe waiting for a cold day.

No longer involved with this project but I've just been made very glad to hear on the radio that two of the three trial groups at Knapdale have established themselves completely and successfully bred and raised families.
No new news on the wolves FTM but things do continue.

With Scotland's population of less than 5.5 million people, and a surface area of 78,387 km² (ingland by contrast is 130,395 km², into which 53 million are stuffed crammed and stressed) there is plenty of room for a few beavers, and the scottish people are likely to be intolerant of anti beaver racism!

Five beavers have been born in Argyll under the UK's only licensed scheme to re-introduce the mammals.
The kits, as baby beavers are known, were spotted at Knapdale where the Scottish Beaver Trail is carrying out a trial re-introduction scheme.
Findings from the five-year trial, which is a partnership between Scottish Wildlife Trust, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and Forestry Commission Scotland, will be passed to Scottish Government when it ends in May 2014.
Parliament will then decide if attempts should be made to beaver re-introduce beavers, which where hunted to near extinction for their furs, in other parts of Scotland.
Field operations manager for the trail, Roisin Campbell-Palmer, said: “The arrival of new kits means that the beavers have bred every year of the Scottish Beaver Trial. We are now attempting to establish exactly how many there are in total – but five have been observed so far.”
Project Manager Simon Jones added: “This is great news for the Scottish Beaver Trial – and for local tourism as more people will want to travel to Argyll to come on our guided walks for a chance to see the new arrivals.”

Beavers spotted in Devon.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/30/first-england-beavers-in-centuries-captured
Seems wrong to trap them and put them in a zoo.
Beavers are Canada's national animal.
There should be some sort of movement to introduce beavers to the wild in UK.
