Permit granted to allow Nibi the beaver to stay with wildlife rescue group in Massachusetts

CHELMSFORD - Gov. Maura Healey has issued a special permit allowing a beaver to stay at a Massachusetts rescue facility after MassWildlife said she had to be released into the wild.

The beaver, named Nibi, has captured the hearts of many people in Massachusetts and around the country. She was found orphaned in Sturbridge two years ago by Newhouse Wildlife Rescue, who have cared for her since.

"I think this meant a lot to people. I think that Nibi stands for more than just, she's not just a beaver. She's an innocent animal in all of this and there's a lot of respect and love for wildlife," Jane Newhouse said in a video posted on the group's Facebook page. "There's a lot of empathy for animals that can't speak for themselves."

MassWildlife initially said Nibi had to return to the wild and Newhouse disagreed, saying Nibi would die and that she should remain with the rescue as an educational animal. A judge issued an order on Tuesday, preventing MassWildlife temporarily from taking the beaver.

I know that takes some time. But, in this case, the video of Nibi found at the link is really interesting. So, anyone who likes the story should take a look. 🦫
