martinezlaura+FollowUtah’s rivers bounce back thanks to beaversBeavers have pulled off a near-miracle in Utah’s desert: after being relocated to struggling rivers like the Price, their dams have helped restore water levels, boost fish populations, and even reduce wildfire risks. Locals now kayak and fish where dry riverbeds once stretched, and the town’s economy is thriving again. It’s wild to think these animals were once nearly wiped out and labeled as pests! With more beaver projects popping up across the state, it’s clear these “ecosystem engineers” are making a real difference. What do you think—should more places try this beaver-powered river rescue? #Science #Utah #Beavers10Share
megangibson+FollowUtah’s beavers are saving our riversBeavers are quietly pulling off a desert miracle in Utah—restoring rivers that were drying up from climate change. Scientists brought these dam-building experts back, and now water levels are rising, fish are returning, and locals are seeing life come back to places that were nearly lost. It’s wild to think that a few furry engineers could do what expensive tech and big projects couldn’t. Have you noticed changes in your local rivers or creeks? What do you think about using nature to fix what’s broken? Let’s talk about it! #Science #Utah #Beavers30Share
Tanya Jackson+FollowBeavers Are Flooding the Netherlands?!Beavers were brought back to the Netherlands to help the ecosystem, but now these furry engineers are causing chaos! Their tunnel-digging skills are threatening the country’s flood defenses—some tunnels are big enough for a person to crawl through. With thousands of beavers on the loose, experts are worried the whole country could end up underwater. Who knew these cute critters could cause such a soggy disaster? #Pets #Netherlands #Beavers00Share
