The Tamar Otter Sanctuary is the only place in the West Country breeding the British otter regularly in captivity and re-introducing young otters into the wild wherever suitable habitat remains. This highly successful scheme, carried out by the Otter Trust, is the only one of its kind in Britain, and has been responsible for bringing the otter population of England back to its level of 20-years-ago.
