Thanks for sharing, this was a very enjoyably written article!
Well wildlife is killed/habitat is removed without permission much much more frequently and is immensely more upsetting than this permissionless 'beaver bombing.' This was a particularly infuriating example from Aus - the punishment for 'permissionless' killing of Eagles - only $60 per eagle and 14 days in jail.
Ecologists have to jump through so many hoops for reveg/rewilding projects (not saying its a bad thing, we have rules for a reason) but it can still feel quite demoralising and frustrating when it hinders work that those with the local, on the ground expertise fully support... makes it hard not to smile when a passionate local takes matters into their own hands for the good of the environment. One of my best frog survey sites was almost certainly started with a bit of 'guerilla frogging' on the part of the landholder.
Me and the fam just did the finale! Weve been watching all the episodes together since the start since we are all on holiday together. Wasn't 100% sure at first (but mostly just cause Eddie's felt a bit too much an Aussie characature in the first two eps!) but we were all very hooked by ep 3, and absolutely loved the rest (after they calmed Eddie down a bit haha). Dulcie and Abby were so good
