Britain turned all its beavers into hats, then spent the next 400 years fighting against dysfunctional rivers.
Beavers were once native across Britain. They built wetlands, slowed floods, stored water, trapped sediment, raised water tables, created fish habitat, and turned simple streams into messy, living systems. Then we wiped them out.
By around the 16th century, beavers had been hunted to extinction for their fur, meat, and castoreum, a scent gland secretion used in perfume and medicine.
The rivers they left behind became poorer, faster, straighter, and less alive. That loss cost a great deal of money.
The UK spends billions on flood defenses because water now rushes through landscapes that used to be full of natural speed bumps: ponds, wetlands, woody dams, side channels, boggy ground, and beaver-built chaos.
When beavers returned to trial sites, they started rebuilding that missing infrastructure with sticks and mud.
Research has found beaver dams can reduce flood peaks by up to about 60%. In Devon, monitored beaver dams slowed stormwater, stored extra water, and delayed flood flows moving downstream. The same wetlands that slow floodwater can also hold water on the land longer during dry periods.
The wildlife response is just as dramatic. Beaver wetlands create habitat for dragonflies, frogs, fish, bats, birds, otters, water voles, plants, fungi, and insects. Recent UK research found beaver-created wetlands held more species than other wetland types.
A beaver isn't just a big-toothed critter, it's a watershed worker. It shows up every night, builds flood control, repairs drought resilience, digs wildlife habitat, filters water, and doesn't invoice the taxpayer for it.
Obviously, they need management in order to coexist with human habitation. Beavers can flood the wrong field, block the wrong culvert, or chew the wrong tree. Nobody serious is saying 'release them everywhere and walk away.' But pretending rivers are healthier without them is absurd.
Britain spent 400 years missing one of its best engineers. I'm glad to see them welcomed back.
Australia Institute research shows voters across the political spectrum overwhelmingly support a 25% tax on gas exports.
Yet the Australian Parliament has failed to act.
✍️ Join the call for a national plebiscite to introduce a 25% gas export tax! ⤵️

If world was serious about climate action
they would
Ban all new oil gas coal drilling
Ban all fossil fuel subsidies
Ban all deforestation
Ban draining wetlands
Ban private Jets
Ban new airports and roads expansions
Ration air travel
They will not do any of this
Scotland just delivered one of the most powerful clean-energy statements in modern history. On multiple occasions, the country’s wind turbines generated around 200% of national electricity demand, producing far more power than Scotland itself needed.
It can be done!!!
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #renewables
🌍 The Amazon chemically changed during the 2023 drought.
Stressed trees released sesquiterpenes, altering cloud formation.
The forest is rewriting its own weather.

You think this would have been more than enough for men to take climate change seriously. 6 yrs on, apparently not. Still smashing out those heatwave records.
