The Pennine hills are full of holes – here’s how they’re helping fight climate change

A new project is transforming badly affected peatlands from dark moonscapes to vibrant green moss-scapes.

The Conversation

🦫🏗️ Researchers in #Ealing, #London, are tracking a family of five #beavers that moved into a former golf course.

The #animals build wooden #dams that hold back #rain, preventing local neighborhoods from #flooding. Their work creates #wetlands that attract #birds and #insects while helping the city adapt to changing #weather.

great video about "AI" and water usage by Hank Green: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_c6MWk7PQc
I learned a lot and was exposed to some things totally new to me
