How are beavers benificial for ecological systems?

755 views

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?

It’s good for lake fish :-).

Dams create wetlands that provide habitats for many other animals and plants. Swamps are good, just ask Shrek 🙂 Dams also regulate the rivers. The river fish can use the lake, too. And still have plenty of river left, and there are plenty more trees, too.

Lots of good videos on YouTube with awesome images and information.
