Beavers: Nature’s Unseen Environmental EngineersBeavers create wetlands that store up to ten times more carbon and reduce flood risks without costly interventions.
- Beavers actively reshape habitats, providing essential flood protection and ecosystem restoration that are difficult to replicate technologically.
