Beavers have returned to an English county for the first time in 400 years on a mission to help local ecosystems – and even fight climate change.
That journey seems to have been successful, with the Trust saying that the beavers made"themselves at home immediately" upon release.
"These beavers will, in time, improve the health of the ponds there by altering the habitat and trapping sediment which is currently running off the land and making the water turbid," the Trust said on Monday."They will create more diversity in the habitats and in turn, wetland wildlife will flourish."
The Wildlife Trust said that beavers help create pools of water and restore wetlands, both of which capture carbon. That carbon, taken in from the atmosphere, is stored in the vegetation built up in those bodies of water as well as the sediments. explains that freshwater sources, namely rivers and streams, are"important drivers of the carbon cycle, transporting and depositing carbon rich material downstream, depositing on floodplains, in estuaries and out to sea.
