Rejected petition Bring back beaver.

With climate change flooding will be a more frequent phenomenon. We need to stop heavy rainfall from causing damage to homes and crops.

Beavers can help with this effort. In spite of their reputation for causing floods by building dams, many small floods upstream prevent big floods downstream.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There are already some beavers living in the wild in the UK. You can find out more here:

It is not therefore clear what action you would like the UK Government to take. You could start a petition asking the Government to take a specific action - for example, to provide funding or other support to increase the number of beavers in the wild.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
