Growing up in Canada 🇨🇦 I think this video really spoke to me. I’ve had the privilege of growing up with these animals and seeing them first hand is amazing!. We must protect these environmental heroes at all costs!.

Wherever they are being reintroduced in Europe (they almost vanished from the continent completely; because of us, of course), they are bringing back life to those regions instantly. Little, messy, green angels! 🌊🌱🌾🌿

Beavers RAISE the water table!! They're super important for local ecosystems. It's terribly sad that people just consider them a nuisance. ESPECIALLY in areas that are suffering with drought!

Slowing water down is a critical part of replenishing groundwater, keeping forests healthy and generally doing good things. For anyone interested, permaculture makes use of this to replenish water on farms

This is the best thumbnail Vox could have made or should is say the thumbnail is COOL.

I absolutely love beavers. They’re really fascinating creatures, there’s a family of them living in the provincial park near me and the entire area where they build their dams is just teeming with wildlife.

I couldn't even imagine that such small animals can help us. That's wonderful and gripping. Thanks to you I discovered new facts. I totally agree that people should allow beavers to have a go at running smoothly. They are conscientious and help other animals. Now I admire them much more. I swell with pride watching what important job beavers do. It's challenging

Human life needs to be multiplanetary in the future to guarantee our species survival. Even if we turn earth around and global warming becomes non existent and all the trash is out of the oceans major life extinction events will still happen. Could be an asteroid in 200 years that wipes out every living thing or maybe Yellowstone super volcano explodes and kills 99% of life. Being multiplanetary gives us a greater shot at surviving life ending events.

Don’t want to say it(that’s a lie) but the idea that we can’t colonize Mars is the Dunning Kruger effect talking. Also, I am very tired.

I remember I loved to run around in marshy areas near creeks as a kid, the beavers made it an interesting and challenging environment to traverse but that was a good thing. Felt like a game trying to jump from patches of dry land to logs and stumps sticking out of the water to move through :)

Learned something new and enlightening today! Thank you!☺️

Dropping beavers out of planes is less dangerous than you'd think. Idaho did it because too many of them were dying from the stress of long, overland-transport. Apparently, para-dropping them was safer for them because it was quicker (my source for that did not mention that there were no roads in the area - I imagine both of those were a factor).

We need more Beavers. Save our Beavers.
