Campaign to help beavers thrive
Beaver populations have increased since their reintroduction into Switzerland in 1956. But the lovable rodents have to contend with concrete riverbanks and intensive farming practices, which encroach on their tree felling and dam building activities. swissinfo visited the River Rhine in an industrial area north of Switzerland, where beavers have settled but where life is still tough for them.

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
