FAQ: What is the role of Scottish Natural Heritage?
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has been tasked by the Scottish Government to co-ordinate the independent scientific monitoring of the trial. They will report on whether or not the licence conditions are being met on the ground. At the end of the trial, SNH will report their findings to the Scottish Government who will then decide what the future holds for the beavers in Knapdale Forest.
SNH chairs the independent Research and Monitoring Coordination Group, who advise and authorize all scientific monitoring projects associated with the trial. The outputs of the scientific monitoring are now available on an independent SNH website.
