變形記 - 荒野重現
在英國已絕跡五百年的野生河狸在2014年再次出現，頓時引起媒體廣泛關注。河狸回歸引起公眾的兩極反應：保育人士讚揚河狸有助生物多樣性，農民則擔心河狸會破壞農作物，要求當局捕獵河狸。
為了讓河狸能繼續在野外生存，在地環保組織德雲郡野生動物信託展開為期五年的研究計劃，努力證明河狸的環境效益。研究確認，河狸作為「生態工程師」，能提升當區的生物多樣性、淨化水質並減少洪水。科學家的論證，能否說服惶恐疑慮的農民及居民呢？。

In 2014, the unexpected reappearance of free-ranging beavers in England, after 500 years of extinction in the wild, sparked widespread media attention. The public was divided: conservationists hailed the beavers’ return as a boost for biodiversity, while farmers feared agricultural damage and demanded their recapture.
The Devon Wildlife Trust launched a five-year study to demonstrate the beavers’ environmental benefits. The research confirmed that beavers, as “eco-engineers,” enhance biodiversity, purify water, and reduce flooding. However, despite these findings, concerns from farmers and their lobbying efforts raise questions about whether the scientific evidence will influence future decisions regarding the beavers’ fate.
