Beavers, and the dams they create, can have a significant beneficial impact on climate. They convert a simple stream into a complex network of wetlands that function as highly efficient carbon sinks, natural firebreaks, and strong defense against droughts and flooding.

First drafted in 2018, the dam project had a building permit but was delayed by negotiations over the land, long used by the military as training grounds.

Chemical recycling facilities only lead to dangerous, toxic, and climate-damaging effects. It DOES NOT help us or the planet.

1) We don’t need more plastic. ❌
2) We need real solutions, not a toxic cycle! ☠️
