FINALLY! When this report caught my eye I nearly wept with joy! My very heart leaped like a young salmon over a beaver dam! Thank the Gods for Ben Goldfarb. Thank everyone who made this happen. I am soo soo sick of negative news about beaver gangs raving the arctic I could just about burst.
Beavers Move Into the Arctic
The Arctic is warming roughly twice as fast as much of the globe and some species are already moving toward the poles in search of new habitat. And as beavers move north into the Arctic these big rodents known as “ecosystem engineers” are bringing big changes to the landscape. Ben Goldfarb is the author of Eager: the Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter and joins Living on Earth’s Jenni Doering to discuss the concerns and benefits of beavers in the Arctic.
