Beaver River - Beavers in Arizona and Northern Mexico

  • At first glance, beavers might seem like cute rodents to some or a nuisance to others. But these industrious mammals have the capacity to solve water and climate-related issues by transforming creeks and rivers. They can act as a tool to fight drought, flooding, wildfire, extinction, and climate change. In this story, we look at beaver reintroduction efforts on the San Pedro River in Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora. Before they were trapped to extinction, there were so many beavers on the San Pedro that it was called the Beaver River. Meet the people trying to bring them back.

      Me too. I can't get enough rewilding. Mossy Earth has a good YT channel, and bison are being reintroduced, bears, wolves, I love it. Beavers are the best though because they make watersheds work.

    It seems to me that bringing in beavers from many different areas in the US would diversify the gene pool of the beavers in the area. If all the beavers came from just one or two family lines in the San Pedro, that interbreeding causes problems which might explain the declining numbers. Bringing in new bloodlines from many different locations in the US should greatly enhance the chances for success.

    Mr. Beast gets 10 million views on his silly, but lovable videos. Sure he does altruistic works, wells in Africa, but it's a bit of grandstanding and view harvesting. You on the other hand, are connected to the life and health of the system and making video content to make a living is not the goal. I wish you more success.

    They actually aren't killing the trees! The way that they chew the trees doesn't fully kill the tree and the tree can actually regrow

    • @nathanadrian7797
      @nathanadrian7797 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some trees can, but most of the trees they chew are killed, dragged into the water and the bark is eaten.

    Back in the 1950's and 1960's there were federal programs to parachute beavers into remote, back country sites. What became of those programs?

    19th century land management and in general human domination of nature is still very entrenched in a lot of Business as Usual thinking in big cities and Board Rooms. Making the difference happen will be a grassroots activist passion for years. But the fruits are ground water recharge, greening and cooling of the landscape, soil retention, species protection. But how does it make money? Stop making money and we will survive. If making money is the goal, then we all loose.

      You are a little short sighted my friend. If beavers get too numerous, disease will kill them all off. When I was a kid, and into my twenties, we had a lot of beavers here, but then something wiped them out! Now, every time beavers move back in, it only takes a year or so and they have died back out. We have huge amounts of perfect beaver habitat, but until whatever the disease is goes away we have no beavers.
