#Beavers are being re-introduced to BC: "A hundred human-made dams will soon be built across the province, promising to restore fish #habitats and #mitigate #floods and #wildfires."
Eager beavers: rodents engineer Czech wetland project after years of human delay
"First drafted in 2018, the project had a building permit but was delayed by negotiations over the land, long used by the military as training grounds. Yet before the excavators got the green light to begin digging, the herbivorous rodents set to work building a dam of their own."
“As climate change causes extreme storms in some areas and intense drought in others, scientists are finding that beavers’ small-scale natural interventions are valuable.”
The changes beavers make can help land hold onto water and release it slowly, which eases flooding and stalls drought.
