Appreciate you taking the time to put that article up. Very interesting. Now beavers are going to be blamed for accelerating global warming in the Arctic?

Think of all the potential waterfowl habitat this could create. I think of the dramatic effect one colony of beavers has on my families property and then extrapolate that times tens of thousands of colonies, they could certainly alter alot of acres quickly.

As far as the global warming thing, I have no idea and can't really pretend to.

The elders say since pike and beaver came to the Lower Yukon River, the red salmon almost disappeared.

And the land continues to change. My ancestors hunted saber tooth’s and woolly mammoths grin Just saying. I spoke to a fella from Russia 20 yrs ago. Russia is looking at all the farmland that will open up in Siberia Good article. Thanks for sharing

Funny,Beavers have been in the far north of Ontario well beyond the treeline for ever.
Not dense like in the boreal,but there nontheless.
They live on willow.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

People really hate change. They want everything to stay the way it is. We’re currently in an ice age right now, it’ll heat up, but don’t worry, it’ll cool off. We have to stop the tectonic plates from shifting among a bunch of other impossible stuff to stop change….yea, I just did a bunch of reading…lol
And if beavers are coming into your territory….. “Trick or treat, here comes the heat” hahahaha!

When I was young, there were few beaver on the Tug Hill Plateau, but the water quality and native brook trout fishery was excellent. Today there are many beaver but few brook trout , and one should not drink from any of the tributaries of the Salmon River or the East Branch of Fish Creek.

I don't know if you are being serious or making jest, but this is a prime reason why Louisiana's waterfowl quality has gone way downhill. It's also a reason our muskrat have never returned to the levels they used to be. Once our muskrats get back to where things used to be and the nutria are kept to a small area, our waterfowl will get back to where it used to be. Prob need to reduce the harvest levels to some degree too, but to what level I have no earthly idea.

Before the Satellites there were cave wall paintings
Before the elders - there were elders
Trade for some traps and adapt.

Seems like there is an awful lot of unsupported conjecture in that article. Typical for Yahoo..

I would think there is just as much opportunity for good consequences as negative ones.

I lived a lot of years where pike and beaver were abundant.....and Red salmon were and are still the dominant fish in the drainage.

World class speckled trout fishery here in a couple rivers and specks in every stream, brook, and ditch,especially around old beaver feedbeds where the small brookies hang out and feed and get big then move into the rivers.
And tons of beaver.

I guess high beaver populations affect different areas differently.

Lots of swamp here,I guess the trout have no problem getting thru the dams.
May be different in rocky country.
