Scientists build artificial beaver dams to boost wetlands and restore beaver populations.

Researchers in British Columbia are building 100 artificial beaver dams by 2025 to encourage beavers to move in and improve wetlands. Over 70 dams have been installed since last year, aiming to raise water levels and promote plant growth, benefiting local ecosystems. The project seeks to address the decline in beaver populations due to trapping and habitat loss, potentially aiding farmers by raising groundwater levels and reducing water pumping needs.
