Beavers in the Gauja National Park, Latvia
1998
Balodis, M. (State Forest Inventory Inst., Riga (Latvia))
Beavers have been part of the landscape in Latvia throughout the post-glacial period. Their numbers were determined by the environment - the climate, water network and relief with little influence of man? Their role in environment continues today with new functions in antropogenic landscapes. Sometimes they provoke conflicts with land owners and foresters. Detailed survey of beavers was conducted in the Gauja National Park in August 1996. Then the beaver population in Latvia consisted of about 70000 individuals. A brief history of the extinction and recovery of beavers in Latvia is given with an emphasis on impact in the Gauja National Park.
