The 87Beavers:
In Memoriam art action was launched by Extinction Rebellion Scotland and the
Scottish Wild Beaver Group (SWBG) to commemorate the 87 protected beavers killed under NatureScot (SNH) licence in 2019, and to persuade the Scottish Government to move beavers to other sites
in Scotland where their biodiversity and ecosystem service benefits would be
welcomed (and only to use killing as a real method of ‘last resort’).
In total,
120 artworks (digital images) were submitted. This auction of the 45 original artworks that were sent in from around the world is one part of the 87Beavers art action, with other events and exhibitions planned. You can view the artworks in the virtual art exhibition at Bamff Wildland Here.
The proceeds from the auction will go to support the work of the Scottish Wild Beaver Group, and to the Trees for Life crowdfunder to challenge NatureScot in court over its failure to make killing of beavers a genuine last resort.
A BIG thank you to all those who contributed artworks. We hope everyone enjoys looking through them and bidding in the 87Beavers auction. The auction will run for two months, finishing on 31st January.
Minimum bid is £6 (Bid increments are £1).

Pastel and pencil drawing on paper with dimensions of 23.5 x 21 cm I am interested in wildlife and OneKind drew my attention to the issue concerning the shooting of the 87 beavers. There is a serious question regarding why all these beavers were shot. That is the reason I have submitted my artwork. If beavers were deliberately reintroduced back into the countryside what was the reason for killing so many of them?

Painting on paper with dimensions of 18.5x13.0 cm I work in wildlife conservation, based in the Highlands and with a particular passion for invertebrates. The power of beavers to transform our landscape for the better, for people and for invertebrates, cannot be overstated. All it takes is for the human species to relinquish some of its natural instinct for control. We must find the strength and wisdom to do this. Before it is too late.

Painting on board with dimensions of 46 x 30 cm I’m an artist from Abernethy, Perthshire, who paints mainly Scottish mountains and dreams, in acrylics. I belong to the Newburgh art group. The stuff I have learnt about beavers in our country has led me to believe that they are a great asset in land prone to flooding as in the Somerset Levels and the Tay with its tributaries. Their dam building and consequent slowing down of the rivers’ speed is invaluable. Like everyone else they are just trying to survive, shooting them is criminal.

Drawing on paper with dimensions of 30 x 21 cm I love beavers because they build nature and we need lots more of that to replace what has been lost. The UK is currently only rated 189th of 214 countries surveyed for biodiversity intactness. If the Scottish Government is serious about tackling biodiversity loss then they must make room for beavers in our countryside, allow them to thrive and re-build our damaged landscape. To allow the shooting of 87 beavers is so wrong headed and sends out completely the wrong environmental message. If necessary trans-locate don't exterminate

Repurposed handmade paper with dimensions of 50 x 56 cm I have reworked the New York City flag emblem, which features two beavers. The fur trade was the foundation of the city's early economy; the beaver is now a protected species in New York State. I wove repurposed, handmade paper to represent beavers' engineering skills, with a relief-printed blue ground for their benefits to our waterways.

Clay and wood fired ceramic beaver with dimensions of 20 x 7 x 7 cm I first came across Beaver when we awoke one morning to notice our Pink Lady Apple tree had been stolen, a little stubble of the original tree left on the lawn. Leaning in, I saw the most beautiful nibbled marks on the tree trunk and this fascinating pencil shape. Immediately I loved whatever creature had done this and so desperately wanted to find out who they were and why they’d picked this tree. A month later I was armed with books on beavers, a pair of binoculars and regularly checking the riverbank for any visits. I made this piece while on residency learning about wood fired ceramics. I thought it would be fun to create a beaver who’d been created using clay and fired using wood. I hope in the future to make a collection of beavers glazed in wood ash (from the remnant trees nibbled on our riverbank), to raise awareness of their positive impact on the environment and to celebrate their beauty.

Pencil drawing on paper with dimensions of15.5x12.5 cm. I’m an environmental activist and a visual artist with a particular focus on wildlife. Beavers are a Keystone species – their presence makes it possible for other species to live in the ecosystem. They’re a wonderful symbol of a regenerative relationship with the wider natural world, and one that we’d do well to emulate instead of persecute.

Ink drawing on paper with dimensions of 21 x 14.5 cm I am a 23 year old illustrator based in Edinburgh. Scotland is one of the most beautiful places in the world, with lush nature and such a diversity of animals that live here. It is heartbreaking that the Scottish Government is taking such drastic actions against these beautiful creatures. Every life is precious and I think people in power forget that we are not above everything else, that just because we are smarter it does not mean we have the right to mess with the delicate balance of nature and decide what lives and what dies.

Beaver knit and crochet in handspun Wensleydale and Shetland wool, stuffed with Jacob fleece, with dimensions of 32 x 14 x 11 cm While I was knitting, I thought about beavers as makers — how their dexterous paws have 'fingers' not so different from my own hands; how beavers craft dams to shape the landscape. And how beavers can inspire us in creating nature-based ways of healing the damage of climate change and biodiversity loss. In the background of the picture is the Knitstinction Rebellion banner, entirely handknit, crochet and stitched by dozens of hands all over Scotland. The banner is made up of knitted squares in the colours of land, sky and sea, over which is stitched an extinction symbol consisting of leaves, flowers, birds and beasties. Like the 87 Beavers project, the Knitstinction banner is a work of craftivism — a more slow, physically-distanced and inclusive form of activism.

I am a multi-media artist working in photography, watercolour and wool and made this wee needle-felted beaver with dimensions 8 x 5 x 4 cm in response to your call for beaver artwork. I've been really heartened to see the positive response from so many people to this project, and enjoyed the amazing range of artwork. I'd like to think we can move towards a future where killing wildlife isn't necessary for farming to be economically viable. I understand that farming sometimes demands tough decisions, and hope that through a government funded beaver translocation programme farmers are no longer forced to make these kinds of decisions.

Ink drawing on card with dimensions of 30 x 21 cm I am a postgraduate student based in Glasgow with a background in film and television production. One of my lifelong loves and interests has been wildlife and I am very passionate about conservation, particularly here in Scotland. I was so excited when I first heard that beavers were being reintroduced to Scotland and I am shocked and saddened to know that 87 have since been killed under licence in 2019 alone. With this ink drawing I wanted to represent all 87 beavers to show the sheer magnitude of the killings, as well as create an uneasy juxtaposition between the cuteness of the beaver characters portrayed and their real counterparts' fate in reality.

Painting on paper (framed) with dimensions of 54 x 43.5 cm I am an artist working in the North East of England. Inspired by the natural world and the green spaces near where I live, my art is about celebrating and connecting with the landscape, its mythologies and its wildlife. As a member of several environmental campaign groups, I feel that a vital way of helping to preserve that natural world is to encourage people to engage with it. I am constantly saddened and appalled by the way humans treat animals. To have re-introduced this iconic mammal to our countryside only for 87 of them to be shot it beyond belief. These gentle creatures have already proved their worth in the increased biodiversity their land management creates and they deserve to be fully protected. Shooting is a cheap and thoughtless solution when problems arise. We have to do better than this.

Two unframed prints - charcoal with haiku poem and colour print, both 20 x 20.5 cm. We’ve supported the reintroduction of Beavers to Scotland for nearly 20 years — with many other individuals and volunteer organisations like SWBG. So, like others, we were horrified by the issuing of licences and the scale of the killing — in the weeks and months immediately after beavers were finally declared a European Protected Species in Scotland. It’s so needless and wrong-headed when our First Minister has recognized the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss and promised action, when the rest of the UK and Europe value beavers and the healthy wetlands they create and the role they both play in mitigating and preventing the worst impacts of these crises — and "beavers do it for free". We love the Extinction Rebellion Scotland idea to use "art action" to express the strength of public opinion, understanding of these issues and appreciation and values of Nature — as a way to call on the Scottish Government to do better. Relocate, don’t exterminate!

Photo with dimensions of 30 x 18 cm This large beaver is swimming about next to its dam in Austria, many years ago, and it was a happy beaver in a wonderful nature reserve on the Danube called the Marchauen near the Slovak border. The presence of the beavers has helped to create this exciting and important habitat where there are, amongst many other bird species, nesting saker falcons, little bittern, white and black storks as well as overwintering white tailed eagles. There are also grass snakes and many species of amphibian. Lepidopterists have recorded over 600 species of moth there. There are also many botanical delights to be found there. Can you imagine what beavers could contribute to the already impressive wealth of species of Scotland?

Print of Metis floral beadwork with dimensions of 40.5 x 30 cm We have lots of beavers in Canada, but it wasn't always that way. They were almost trapped to extinction during the fur trade as the felt made from their pelts were in huge demand in Europe in the 1700 & 1800's. I have some living right by my house in the creek. My artwork is created with a beaver motif and Métis floral beadwork. It's very highly textured. Métis Beaver Spirit - The Beaver - kastor (kastor) is hardworking, diligent and creative. It's naturally driven to succeed and reaches its daily goals easily. The efficient beaver can carve down trees and build a lodge and dams in a short period of time. Many Métis people have this same drive and like the beaver would build their homes near lakes and rivers, such as those in the Qu'appelle Valley. A human with the spirit of a beaver can and will succeed at reaching their goals.

Drawing on paper with dimensions of 21x15 cm The idea of saving the beavers sounded trivial to me at first, but after taking the time to learn about these little critters I see how crucial they are to our ecosystems. Killing these beavers is another instance of our Government speaking proudly about how they love and care for our wilderness but as soon as that wilderness intrudes on our manicured systems we literally murder whatever is in our way. I'm happy someone is speaking up for these little guys.

Abstract drawing on card with dimensions of 41.5 x 28.5 cm One of my greatest wildlife moments was watching a Beaver swim past while I stood on a small jetty over looking a small waterway in the Netherlands. It was a magical, amazing and thrilling experience, and one I thought I would never get to see in Britain. With the shooting of these 87 Beavers in Scotland I'm wondering if the glimpse of hope I had when I heard Beaver were on the increase might have been in vain. I am a wildlife enthusiast from southern England, a keen moth- er who knows the importance of keystone species in landscapes.

Beaver painting on wood with dimensions of 47 x 28.5 x 4 cm (weight 3400g) Beavers are one of the most important keystone species on our planet, and their work creates vital habitat for countless other creatures. Beaver dams are integral for flood control, restoring wetlands, reducing erosion, cleansing and storing vast amounts of fresh water, as well as drastically increasing biodiversity. Some dams are as large as 850 meters in length and have existed for centuries. These industrious mammals are hard-working, diligent parents, and are also monogamous, in addition to being utterly fascinating. Several thousand years ago a now extinct giant species of beaver, Castoroides ohioensis, roamed the earth. The large rodent weighed nearly 300 pounds, and was between six and seven feet in length. Rhonda Winter is an artist, writer and political activist, native to California. She studied art and organic agroecology at San Francisco State University and the University of Santa Cruz. Currently she works and resides in Berlin.

Painting on canvas (framed) with dimensions of 30.5 x 25.5 cm At a time of climate and ecological emergencies and with Scotland as one of the most nature depleted countries and the economy in a pretty poor state, we need desperate action. As a keystone species and an ecosystem engineer, beavers tackle the effects of climate change, boost biodiversity and all free of charge. To allow the shooting of 87 protected beavers rather than relocate them to areas where they are needed and wanted, was criminal.

Unframed print (signed 1/5) with dimensions of 29.7 x 42 cm. I live in one of the first re- inhabited beaver areas in Scotland and have seen both their contribution to this area and of course the hostile reception by most land owners. As an artist interested in our representation of nature and natural history, the opportunity to see beaver activity along our water banks for the first time in our life time, offered new and exciting imagery.

Ink drawing on paper with dimensions of 29.5 x 21.0 cm I am a professional tattoo artist from Leicestershire. I have always loved and cared about animals, nature and the natural world and wildlife. I draw and tattoo a lot of foliage and animals and wildlife. I was instantly excited to be able to get involved with raising awareness of this cause. The killing of these beautiful and important animals is mindless and completely unnecessary. These peaceful animals play a huge role to the environment and they create habitats for other wildlife and plants and improve water quality. I hope these artworks create awareness and change for these creatures

Watercolour on card with dimensions of 21.0 x 19.0 cm A little watercolour picture I did for the 87 Beavers who were cruelly shot in Scotland 2019. My name is Amanda Murray and I'm a wife and mum to one little boy. I feel privileged to submit my watercolour creation in memory of the 87 Beavers cruelly taken from our environment in 2019. This disgusting act goes against everything I believe in and I am sure plenty of others would agree. Animals have rights and these beautiful Beavers should be left to thrive and live happy lives not be shot in cold blood.

Watercolour on card with dimensions of 22.5 x 20.0 cm As a resident of the Isle of Skye, the beauty of wild places is massively important to me, and so is community. The promotion and protection of wild places and animals needs to come hand in hand with the people that live there. Perhaps that is where we have let down these 87 beavers. My hope is, going forward that community awareness and support of rewilding projects such as this will flourish, as people begin to appreciate the vitality of our wild places. My plan is to begin studying Environmental Science this year so I can be better informed on my part in all this. Beavers are such beautiful creatures with such positive complex impacts on their environment. I hope unnecessary loss like this never happens again.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another
member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new
maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
Close.
