The US is bringing back nature's best firefighters: beavers
Is there an article attached or am I just experienced to think that we will be air dropping beavers into every active wildfire?
Thank you so much. I have no idea why OP uploaded the headline and the article's image but not the article itself.
Could be a bug with whatever Lemmy client the poster is using.
They attach little parachutes to their tough little tails.
Let’s Fuckin Gooooooooo!!
That beaver looks like he's just been told he has to go fight fires.
Didn't know we had beavers down here in Florida, so the first time I saw a dam I assumed it was manmade. Figured a buncha rednecks chunked cut tree waste to make a pond.
The pond is beautiful. All kinds of flora and fauna flourishing in there. Carnivorous pitcher plants, amphibians, fish popping off at sundown, all that. Where it drains, it makes a clear creek that is stunning to behold. Again, all kinds of life in there.
Had some great pics but it looks like my ex-gf deleted our shared album. :(
In the Netherlands beavers had been hunted into extinction by mid 20th century (I don't know exactly when they went extinct). In the 80s beavers were reintroduced from the DDR and now there are over 5000 beavers in the country. In western Germany populations have been rising too, and these are just what I know from the top of my head.
Beavers are definitely doing great right now around the world and that is uplifting news indeed!
The TLDR for the article is that it's mostly the Western states.
The TL;DR I was looking for: The beavers help to 'fight fires' in the sense that they prevent forests from drying out. Their dams will occasionally cause floodings or streams to diverge, which helps to distribute the water.
Canada is prepared to open the beaver gate for our allies to the south, but please, calm down everyone. Sorry.
I just wanna give that little guy a pat on the head. good job, little beaver. Keep making your home.
it seemed wrong to me that the stream should be drying up. There's a lot of life that depends on that water.
Says the bloody cattle rancher who’s been drawing from it. The lack of awareness… 😫
