Summary

Considered a "nuisance", the European beaver was close to extinction at the end of the 19th century. It was saved by innovative protection measures. Very few endangered species have made such a comeback, making the beaver a case in point.

However, its return to anthropized waterways raises the question of its cohabitation with humans. Its success varies according to social environment, places and times, and depends on both human and animal adaptations.

The beaver surprises us with its ability to transform its behavior and to modify its environment.

It consolidates and restores ecosystem functions, reinforces the ecological networks of wetlands and enhances biodiversity, all of which benefits human societies. His engineering talents bring new, nature-based solutions to amplify the resistance and resilience of socio-ecosystems in the face of accelerating environmental change.

In this book, Rémi Luglia tells the story of beavers and their lifestyles, their singular histories intertwined with those of humans, and how they adapt their behavior and environments. The author proposes a reasoned and sensitive path towards reconciliation between humans and other living beings.

This book is aimed both at academics, naturalists and river stakeholders and actors, who will find well-documented, thought-provoking material here. Nature lovers will also enjoy discovering a curious and endearing animal!
