Remember that the UK is the exception in Europe, rather than the rule. In most European countries beavers have lived side by side with civilisation for centuries. I grew up within walking distance of several beaver habitats in a heavily agricultural landscape in rural Southern Germany. There is no real conflict between humans and beavers in a well managed landscape.
