Dams reduce flooding downstream & create pools. These pools support 50% more species than other pools, increasing biodiversity. Installing a deceiver will prevent localised flooding

Digging channels creates wetland habitat, increasing biodiversity.

Beavers = keystone species & ecosystem engineers -> increase biodiversity

Scotland = at risk of losing 11% species, in a biodiversity emergency

Sometimes these behaviours cause issues & #beavers are shot under license. Last year 1/5 pop was killed

There is another way -> relocate beavers to areas where they will benefit ecosystems
