Beaver Culling Approved at Berlin Airport to Prevent Flooding

Authorities authorize the removal of beavers at BER Airport to ensure drainage systems function properly.

The Dahme-Notte Water and Soil Association has been granted permission to cull beavers at the Selchower Flood Channel near BER Airport.
Beaver structures have been causing blockages in drainage systems, leading to potential economic damage.
The flood channel must maintain a specific flow rate to support airport operations, as outlined in the airport's planning approval.
Although beavers are typically protected, exceptions are made in cases like flooding where infrastructure is at risk.
A similar situation occurred during the Oder River floods, where beavers were culled to protect dike integrity.
