California's drought is a multi-billion dollar issue that we've dumped a lot of resources into, but climate scientists are finding that working with what nature provides could be more effective than our synthetic solutions.

They say sometimes, you just gotta leave it to the beavers.

    When Europeans came to North America, there were 400 million beavers. The land and ecosystems evolved alongside them . Now, after decades of conservation, there are 15 million. Still far to few, but those little engineers are trying their hardest to repair the damage humans have done to the land. They don't ask for much, a few willow or cottonwood trees and the freedom to improve their environment. If we work with them and accommodate their needs, they will work 24/7 to save us from ourselves.

    I wish I could personally thank everyone involved in bringing beavers back to the creeks and streams where they belong. They are to me sacred, special creatures that bring life wherever they go. The tribes have always understood that.
  • @RobinPMac
    We sure know how to screw up the land by destroying these helpful animals
  • @wanderingfido
    This could be why your northern neighbor has this critter as our national mascot. . . 🤔😏🇨🇦
  • @marsultor5719
    So basically we are rediscovering what the Natives have known all along.
  • @futurecaredesign
    If you consider that the US used to have between 100 and 400 MILLION beavers, you can see why it has such problems with drought and changes in weather patterns.
  • The world would save itself if humanity would just act humane and quit being so destructive
  • @yeltsin6817
    Makes sense. Hopefully this concept spreads and takes off.

    As someone from California, to Solve Wildfires and Drought Fish and Wildlife services should not be allowed to k!ll off animals in order to open the area to real estate developement. It directly increases the threat of wildfires & it's severity. Those "homes" take up at least an acre of land, they are built on mountainsides that are already prone to wildfire. These "homes" are owned by corporations & are fliming locations for t.v, movie, photoshoot.

    Bravo! The world needs more people like you! The best of luck to you and your friends!

    “Sometimes you just have to leave it to beavers” *Everyone in the newsroom high fives
  • Thank you. Bringing back Beavers, Wolves & other creatures that enhance natural water & keep hooves angulates in reasonable numbers can only be a big plus for us.
  • @HeyUncleA
    O so when you leave them alone and let them do what’s been natural to them for thousands of years it helps the environment… 🤯
  • @CS-en7ru
    We need some in Eagle Lake California!!!!
  • @brentfrank7012
    I’d love to see more about these beavers and how they are helping.
  • Looking for this incredible creatures for some time (unfortunately only in net) I'have been in kind of obsession with them. Conclusion: give them as many land nad creeks as possible, final result can be only GOOD for beavers and for us as well.
