Beavers released into desert to save dying river show results
Original: Beavers were brought to the desert to save a dying river. 6 years later, here are the results.
Beavers were introduced to a desert river six years ago in an effort to restore a waterway that was dying. The results of that experiment are now being reported, and the story is drawing attention for its unusual premise: using a rodent famous for dam-building to bring life back to an arid landscape. Restoration projects like this are closely watched as a possible model for reviving degraded rivers elsewhere.
Why now: Six years after the unusual beaver relocation project began, its results have just been reported.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 4 snapshots from 4 h ago to 4 min ago.
