User:BlueHorse2000/Reintroduction of beavers to Europe

Article Draft
Drafting Plan:

1. Clean-up to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Currently the article focuses too heavily on beavers in general and not enough on reintroduction. I will expand and update the sections focused on reintroduction to discuss methods of beaver reintroduction and varying levels of success. I will discuss the importance of regular population and health monitoring of a reintroduced species.

2. Tone. The article is written in a biased, argumentative, personal tone. It needs to be changed to not state the authors' personal opinions on beaver reintroduction, but only to state facts in a tone appropriate for Wikipedia.

Methods of Reintroduction
Beavers are reintroduced through planned and unplanned releases, such as escapes from captive populations (Campbell palmer). Unplanned releases can happen through escapes from zoos or wildlife centers, or through natural spread. Planned releases are managed by governmental organizations and environmental non-profits. Organizations need community support when managing beaver reintroductions. These are most successful when managed locally. The reintroduction of a species can cause rapid change to high-use domesticated landscapes. These changes cause a range of emotional reactions to the community present. Attempting to understand these reactions is important for managing organizations to aid in coexistence between humans and beavers, and population success (Blewett et all 2022). The health of a reintroduced species impacts humans and domesticated animals, and other wildlife. Health assessments should take place before and regularly after its reintroduction. In unplanned releases or escapes, it is difficult to produce a health baseline of a species.

"something belongs between the disappearance and reintroduction - why?"

need more info on what planned - governmental, non-profit, environmental actions

unplanned - from zoos, etc

methods section needs to be bigger and include that stuff ^

then improve tone of criticism section + add more info, and remove beavers as a flagship species section. some of that info can go into the methods section

things i have done so far: added to the list of reintroductions, condensed and improved the section on beaver effects and moved it. improved tone and grammar.
