There is, unfortunately a perception of nature being a naturally-balancing system. But it's really not. It's dynamic, constantly changing, and beavers can be a real chaos wildcard, creating outcomes that can modify hundreds, even thousands, of acres of land.

It's no coincidence that alongside commercial fishing, farming has a horrendous accident rate. If e.g. you have any livestock much over the size of a chicken your near 80yo parent could be at significant risk from unexpected animal behaviour. Cattle yards cause horrific crush injury.
