***About Canadian Beavers:

*** The Canadian beaver, a national symbol, is revered for its engineering prowess and ecological role. Known scientifically as Castor canadensis, this rodent is crucial for biodiversity, creating wetlands that support a myriad ecosystems. Historically, beavers were hunted extensively for their fur and castoreum, leading to near-depletion in some areas. Conservation efforts in the 20th century have allowed beaver populations to rebound, which in turn helps in the restoration of wetlands, crucial for other species such as fish, birds, and amphibians.
