As the United Nation’s World Wildlife Day, March 3rd is a perfect opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. Although DMAD is a marine protection organisation, our volunteers and staff come from a wide range of backgrounds, all with one thing in common: our love for wildlife and its conservation! In honour of 2020’s World Wildlife Day, Research Assistant Myrthe Bakker has written a blog post on her favourite member of the animal kingdom: Eurasian beavers!

For World Wildlife Day I decided to write a little about the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber). Having worked on a project about the beavers in the past I became fascinated by their biology and behaviours!
