Beavers are now on the payroll in Colorado. 10 years ago, Brian Sullivan, head of Colorado Parks & Wildlife’s Wetlands for Wildlife grants program, saw one or two grant applications for beaver-related projects every year. Now, he says, about half the projects he processes involve them. The fact that people want beavers means officials can prioritise relocating them, supporting water retention, wetland creation & flood control across the dry American West https://reasonstobecheerful.world/beavers-big-moment/
