Beavers Beat Bureaucracy: Government Cancels Project After Nature Takes Over
After seven years and $1.2 million in planning, a Czech wetland restoration project in the Brdy region saw little progress. However, a family of beavers unexpectedly began constructing dams in the exact locations planned for restoration, effectively completing the project in a matter of days. Their work replicated the planned human intervention, saving the project approximately $1.2 million. This unplanned intervention highlights the beavers’ efficiency and the potential of natural processes in ecological restoration.
