Beavers Help Stop Wildfires and Drought
Beavers are a unique animal in that they deliberately work to change their environment. They fell trees, thinning out forests. They dam up rivers and creeks with their constructions and create ponds. The environment got along fine with all this, but then people moved in and wanted to alter the land for our own purposes. Beaver were hunted to a fraction their previous numbers, and over decades, the wild land became more crowded, less productive, and less diverse in species.
