Beavers pose 'risks' to farmers
Adrian Campbell, Environment Correspondent
BBC Spotlight
The National Farmers' Union says it is against plans for beavers to play a role in tackling flooding in the south west.
Researchers from the University of Exeter and the Devon Wildlife Trust believe they could help to slow the flow of flood water and so form part of a solution in flood prone areas.
However, a spokesperson for the NFU said the organisation "specifically opposes the re-introduction of the European Beaver because of concerns about the damage to farmland and farming operations caused by their physical activities and the risks of them spreading disease".

Sophie Malcolm
BBC News Online
Devon beavers may provide a low cost solution to many of our flooding problems.
A trial, which has been taking place at a secret location near Dartmoor, has been monitoring the activity of a group of beavers over the past six years.
According to a report by the University of Exeter the animals have successfully reduced the risk of flash floods.
However, not everybody is happy about the beavers.
The National Farmers' Union says it is worried about the damage beavers may cause to farmland, and the risk of them spreading disease.
