German hunters recorded another significant rise in coypu culls in the past hunting year, an invasive species also known as the river or swamp beaver. The new data concerns several federal states, including Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse, and Brandenburg. Die Zeit ↗
In Rhineland-Palatinate, according to the published data, almost 1,000 coypu were caught. In Saarland, hunters caught 140 individuals, with the number continuing to rise according to available information. In Hesse, new culling figures were published, but the data provided do not state a specific number. In Brandenburg, hunters once again caught thousands of coypu. Die Zeit ↗
Coypu are considered an invasive species in Germany. According to published articles, they continue to reproduce rapidly in the country. Their control is linked not only to the protection of native habitats but also to flood protection, since the presence of these animals can be connected to the condition of riverbanks and dikes.

The new figures represent a further signal that the fight against the spread of coypu remains a current topic in Germany. Developments in individual federal states will depend on further data from hunting organizations and on whether it proves possible to slow the growth of this invasive species' population.
