Beaver the Healer
Beavers can heal the landscape. And they work for free.
Similar to human kidneys, the organs that extract waste from our blood and balance body fluids, wetlands have the ability to clean the water that flows through them, mitigate large flood events and recharge underground aquifers.
Wetlands can also provide fisheries and timber resources, habitat for biodiversity , and protect coastal communities from extreme events, such as typhoons and hurricanes. They also make lucrative destinations for ecotourism, shoring up the bottom line for local economies across the globe.
