Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

The Center for Biological Diversity is reporting success at their campaign to save beaver in critical salmon and steelhead habitat. We will report more on this tomorrow but here is the gist right now:

LEGAL ACTION FORCES WILDLIFE SERVICES TO STOP KILLING BEAVERS

SACRAMENTO— The federal wildlife-killing program known as Wildlife Services has agreed to stop shooting and trapping California beavers on more than 11,000 miles of river and 4 million acres of land where the killing could hurt endangered wildlife.

Native salmon, southwestern willow flycatchers and other highly imperiled animals use habitats created by beavers.

The agreement came yesterday in response to a threat of litigation from the Center for Biological Diversity.

Wildlife Services, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, also agreed to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to analyze the impacts of killing beavers on threatened and endangered species.

Here’s a map outlining “Critical Habitat” which, by the way, includes Martinez.
