There was a town that thought they had a beaver problem in a park area that ran through the center of town. While they were deciding what to do with the problem beavers that were flooding areas of the park, a wildfire destroyed half the town. It was stopped by the beaver flooded park. Since then, the town has made space for the beavers and used mitigation methods to keep roads and paths safe.

We know allot more now so we try to do more to restore or preserve wetlands and there animals. Though considering things of heard in documentaries and such and just from general knowledge of how agricultural changed the Mississippi River valley and the loss of wetlands that entailed over several large agricultural redevelopment projects, that a much larger portion of the United States was what most would consider marsh land or seasonal marshes which was probably related allot to beavers in a way or would atleast allow for larger populations of them.

@@gzoechi In the US , land owners have to pay their taxes to retain ownership of their property. Those with limited means have to sell timber in many case to make these payments.

I agree that nature should come first but If the payments aren't made and the "owner" loses the land to the state they can proceed in almost any way they deem prudent. Such as eradication, relocation or nothing at all. It doesn't matter ( economically) to them. My point is if that money was spent with the planets priority in mind the beavers could do what they deem proper and land owners would be compensated for their lost revenue in the form of tax breaks etc. Currently farmers are paid %50 of there yield for growing corn, soy beans and another I can't recall. Corn is almost the worst thing that's grown. Don't get me started on military spending by the USA. Our priorities are pretty messed up.

There are plenty of desert plants, at least in the US, both native and imported. The following I have seen growing happily in wild or cultivated areas in the Sonoran desert: mesquite, paloverde, acacia, desert willow, cottonwood (riparian), ironwood, various citrus and nuts, palm trees, some conifers, desert hackberry, Texas ebony, eucalyptus (invasive), carob, figs, laurels, peaches, etc. Some true willows do well in riparian areas as well. This doesn't even account for woody shrubs and for saguaros which have woody stems inside and long agave flower stalks, corn stalks, and the like. Go further north or to higher elevations and you get more typical temperate climate plants. About the only one of these I can't see beavers considering using as a building material at some phase of its life cycle (or after it passes) is the ironwood, and that is because even human tools can find it hard to cut (and even then, deadwood would be useful as it doesn't float away). Very few deserts are truly wholly devoid of life, and where there have been streams before, there likely are in fact woody shrubs and/or trees of some sort. Also, seasonal monsoon rains bring flash floods which can carry whole trees down ephemeral streams until they get stuck. That deadwood can then be harvested by beavers.

Beavers are literally awesome! Beavers are considered a keystone species because they develop wetlands that attract and support literally hundreds of other species. Beaver wetlands are among the most biologically productive ecosystems in the world. Beavers increase plant, bird and wildlife variety, improve water quality, and raise salmon and trout populations. Beavers are biodiversity in action. Beavers are very family-oriented. Beaver pairs are monogamous and have kits every year, with two-year old kits living in the family home until they've learned everything they need to know to go out and start their own families.

@terredee2 ай бұрын
Sorry, no, beavers are not at all like cats in that way. They are graceful in water but slow on land. Beavers are monogamous, and the kits start helping their parents maintain the dam, lodge, and channels within weeks of their birth (2-4 kits are born at a time usually). When another bunch of kits is born the next spring, the older kits help the parents raise them and teach them how to do the work, and find and store food. At two to three years old, the kits are old enough and experienced enough to build their own lodges, usually a short distance downstream from their parent’s lodge. With more and more dams the water in a whole river is moderated so it stays on the land, providing habitat to hundreds of other species, filtering pollutants, recharging the aquifers, resisting wildfire and helping prevent flooding. Idaho dropped beavers in crates tied to parachutes. The main problem is that they did not keep families together, so how many survived the drop is a question. We know some did.

Excellent video. It was good to see beavers' beneficial side. Here in western Kentucky, we are more focused on staying above water and beavers can be a real pain. I am not saying beavers are entirely bad even here, but they can be incredibly destructive depending on how narrow or broad your focus. Yes, I acknowledge that they can be beneficial to flood control even in an already wet area, but drainage is important as well. My Grandfather was a Wildlife Officer. Dynamiting problem beaver dams with him when I was a boy is now but a fond memory.

If they build a pond on your upstream neighbors land they are great for flood control. If they build on your land, not so much.

I live right close. They make dams from desert sagebrush and desert rabbitbrush, filled-in with cattails and they eat cattails and bullrushes. There are some clump-willows that grew back from down "river" {small river-Humboldt River}, where the beavers came from-

Settlers had such an erroneous initial impression of the US west. European diseases wiped out the native humans long before either group even met. Then mountain men infiltrated these areas and wiped out the beavers for trade. So the land was mostly empty and mostly dried out when whites arrived. "Mountain men are most associated with trapping for beaver from 1807 to the 1840s in the Rocky Mountains"- Wikipedia And the west was mostly settled after the US Civil War, c. 1865-ish. - source, my grade school teacher, Mrs Brandon.

@hubrisnaut2 ай бұрын
It's a more complicated reality. It's the water reservoir and plant harvesting in unison. The water doesn't dry up because of 'lack of plants'. In fact, plants absorb the water and expel it as vapor, reducing water flow. I have seen this happen in my lifetime, with streams drying up because of plant growth. If the beavers building dams fixed things than human could have built dams and achieved the same thing. It's the natural balance of available water and plant consuming animals that has been achieved by reintroduction.

for those wondering why we dont just drop beavers in more places, you also have to make sure the flora of the area is beaver-friendly. Beavers have gotten accidentally introduced to areas with slow-growing trees that can't keep up with their pace.

Someone planted a couple beavers on this piece of federal property (central CA costal chaparral area) where we used to go hiking as kids all the time. Within a couple years there were several large ponds filled with minnows, turtles, etc.. with a lot of clear running water. It was really amazing to see.
