A protected species, the beaver complicates the lives of farmers in the Meuse. Around Sivry-sur-Meuse, the animal builds dams which alter the drainage of the fields.
“We have already lost 35,000 euros’, says one local farmer. The animal has taken up its habits around Warsin, a small stream which collects springs from the surrounding areas. The presence of beavers is accompanied by numerous inconveniences for owners and operators of agricultural plots.
