That’s why the researchers involved argue that beavers “can be part of a comprehensive fire-mitigation strategy.”

Beavers create messy wetlands as safe places to live, and a new paper explains how their engineering is also a powerful tool in fending off the harms of climate change. Their dams, channels and ponds have positive side effects that reduce the damage caused by flood, drought and wildfire.
