Anastasiia Kryvoruchenko: Good for #Beavers, Bad for #Russia. .In 2022, #Ukraine blew up the Kozarovychi Dam to stop the Russians. Now, Europe wants to copy this strategy — turning wetlands into defenses.

"And as [Poland and the #Baltics] learn from Ukraine, they are finding that the measures may not only defend against Russia but could help with climate change and the local #ecology."

A leucistic white beaver lives in Eastern Ontario.

An Ottawa photographer and a recently retired Carleton University professor went out near Perth to follow up on reports. Yes, they successfully captured it on photos.

"To see a totally white beaver with dark eyes and a dark foot, that's incredible!"

Climate warming turns continental interiors into dry kindling, water cycle replaced by vast storm rivers of flash floods that wash away immediayely, also taking topsoil to the ocean, so how dp you keep water in drying interiors?

Millions of beavers trapping water in millions of mini-dams that keep water in continental interiors.

Beavers are central to clmate protection.

Saturday morning beaver frolics, these two are wrasslin, splashin, rollin and tumblin, creating quite a ruckus. Maybe later they went into the lodge and got frisky, I don't know! 👀

Two wet, brown, furry beavers wrestling in the water, head-to-head and cheek-to-cheek, their black noses and whiskers pointing skyward. They are in a large puddle, surrounded by brown and green marsh grass. Quite amusing to watch them, it seemed to be all in good fun.

Beavers are active, shoring up check dams and hauling wood, I think alerted by shorter daylight and cooler temps that big fall rain is near. Watched one yesterday carry a long limb over a dam and down a narrow stream at least 100 yards to the lodge -- no small effort!

Holding one end in its mouth, a beaver carries a long limb through a creek, pushing the water in front of it and creating a wake that reflects light interestingly. It's a close photo and shows the beaver's furry brown head, tilted slightly to better pull the limb.Grasping the thick end in its mouth, the beaver struggles to pull the long limb through a narrow stream. You can't see the dam in this photo but the far end of the limb is hung up a little on the dam.This photo shows how long the limb is, probably three times the beaver's length as it hauls the limb toward the lodge down the creek, with green vegetation and brush on either side of the creek.

Do you like #beavers? Then read this fascinating story about a Californian region where beavers had disappeared. Until an ancient #indigenous rock painting inspired Tule River Tribe member Kenneth McDarment.

And restoring #beavers is really cheap!!
If I was back in the #santacruz mountains I would be advocating for Beaver restoration in the San Lorenzo watershed.
