#beavers are more than fascinating watchable #wildlife; learning to coexist with this species can help solve major environmental problems.By building dams beavers restore the landβs most valuable #ecosystem, wetlands.Not only are wetlands havens of life with #biodiversity comparable to tropical rain forests,they also provide essential services, such as water cleansing, #climate regulation, and moderating the flow of streams.
