Handbook for Coexisting with Beavers

Original language description

Beavers were a natural part of our countryside until the middle of the 18th century, when it was exterminated due to excessive hunting. Beavers reoccurred in our territory after successful reintroduction programmes conducted in neighbouring countries in the 70s of the 20th century. The quantity is increasing and an adored returnee is becoming unwelcome neighbour in many places. Beaver is a key type of wetland and riparian ecosystems, which on some sites may positively affect the quality and storage of water, dramatically transform the environment of watercourses, water areas and their surroundings. On the other hand, the vital signs of beavers come into conflict with the economic interests of a man in the landscape. The most common conflicts include the consumption of woody plants and crops, waterlogging or flooding of land as a result of damming of watercourses or disruption of pond dams and levees by burrowing burrows. Public, state and private entities have currently no available information which measures should be applied to reduce the extent of damage caused by Castor fiber. Therefore, we have prepared this handbook. Its core section contains a set of procedures how it is possible to prevent or minimize the damage and conflict situations, or at least how it is possible to diminish their extent. To understand the principle and method of implementation of each measure there is also presented basic information about the biology and ecology of beavers in the handbook. Another significant part of the material is a detailed analysis of the legal framework for the protection of the Castro fiber, including a description of the current system of financial compensation of damage. There is also introduced a concept of management of its population in our country, so called Management Programme for the Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) in the Czech Republic.
