Beavers can damage small buildings on the banks by felling thetree over building.- Degradation of some ecosystems and their elements protected as specially protectedparts of nature (protected areas, protected species)- flooding of protected ecosystems- clogging of revitalisation channels57
Manual of beaver management within the Danube river basin9. SOLUTIONS FOR BEAVER CONFLICTS(by G. Schwab & S. Geißler)An analysis of the various conflicts with beavers in the cultivated landscape revealsthat the majority of conflicts occur in a relatively narrow strip along the water bodiessettled by beavers (90% within 10m, 95% within 20m distance), Fig 6..Conflicts farther way from the water occur only in exceptional cases, e.g. in places withhighly attractive crops like sugar beets, if beaver flood areas or as secondary effectsfrom breaking dikes.This result is the basis for solutions concerning conflicts with beavers.The most sustainable solutions are unused areas along the river banks; areas whichare - independent from the beaver topic – also necessary for water and floodingprotection. Where these areas can not be created, or only partially and / or mid andlong-term, there are many smaller locally usable measure to solve and mitigateconflicts.In justified single cases, it can also be necessary to dislodge beavers from an area.A substantial part of conflict solution is always public relations and communication toprovide information about beavers, typical conflicts and solution measures tolandowners and stakeholders.Fig. No. 6.: Conflicts with beavers occur mostly within a 20 m broad strip along the riverside(x-axis distance to the water, y-axis number of beaver traces, from LfU 2009).58
