- lukas099 1mo agoYeah they have rebounded a lot and we should celebrate that.
- culi 1mo agoYes it's heartening to see the rebound but the population reaching as low as 100k will forever place a genetic hurdle on restoration efforts. Not to mention beavers have been found to be highly cultural animals with local nuances in social interactions and even how they build their dams. There are tons of skills that beavers pass down through culture rather than genetics that have already been lost
- pfdietz 1mo agoI don't know about that; 100K is still a pretty big population.
