Beavers were recently reintroduced in my country to help the ecological system develop. All I know is that they build dams, which I would assume isn’t very good for river fish. I also just learned they tend to eat/use young trees, which can’t be good for the forest growth. How do they actually benifit the ecological system?

iirc, they’re what is called an “architect” keystone species. By changing their environment – building dams, cutting down trees, etc – they create important changes to their ecosystems that allow other species to thrive!
