Beaver reintroduction in East Sussex

The project aims to use the beavers as 'ecosystem engineers' to create new habitats and improve water quality in the region.

Conservationists have praised the move as a significant step toward restoring the UK's natural heritage.

The reintroduction follows similar successful trials in other parts of the country that have shown beavers can reduce flooding risks.

Local residents and wildlife enthusiasts are being encouraged to support the project as the animals settle into their new home.
