Biber können Flüsse in leistungsstarke Kohlenstoffsenken verwandeln und bis zu zehnmal mehr Kohlenstoff speichern als unveränderte Bäche. Die 13-jährige Studie ergab, dass Biber-Feuchtgebiete in der Schweiz 1.194 Tonnen Kohlenstoff speicherten, hauptsächlich durch das Einfangen von Sedimenten und Totholz.

Ok but at what costs? Where i live which is not that dissimilar from the area mentioned, migrating beavers are causing quite the damage. Beavers don’t tend to stay in their areas, their designated spots, like nearly all living beings in favorable conditions, they multiply and migrate.

I’m not opposed to beavers and the positive effect they can have, still beavers need a holistic approach just as was done with the reintroduction of the wolf.
