That's a strange use of "catalyst". It seems to say that the state got the idea for a fur trade after the beavers appeared; if so, why were they brought in the first place? — Tamfang ( talk) 20:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
This tidbit at the end, "Currently, the emphasis in the Tierra del Fuego National Park is on control, not on eradication" would appear to be wrong. The source provided doesn't make this claim. Additionally, there is a recent report here ( http://www.issg.org/pdf/publications/Island_Invasives/pdfHQprint/1Malmierca.pdf) that describes control efforts beginning in 1981 that included trapping, commercial and recreational hunting, and bounties for pelts and meat. Much of these efforts have continued and expanded. Other recent sources from the last couple years point to a systematic "all of the above" strategy now being used to control the population (local people are dubious on this, given past failures). There are details of a zone-by-zone eradication program available, conversely they may be targeting adult beavers specifically because by doing so the young ones stay behind to occupy old dams rather than expanding and building new ones.. Also it would appear that beavers now occupy 90 percent of the watershed of Isla Grande. All this and more ought to be added to the article, in the near future I'll try to get the references up. Especially that Methods section, needs to be expanded and changed (it reads as though there have been no eradication efforts in the area, when in fact there is a rather detailed history of them). <> Alt lys er svunnet hen ( talk) 05:08, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I propose merging Beaver eradication in Tierra del Fuego into Beavers in Southern Patagonia. This is clearly duplication and this can easily be summarised into a single article, as this one is still pretty short. Arcahaeoindris ( talk) 16:11, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
