Beavers by Frances Backhouse
By cutting trees and building dams, beavers shape landscapes and provide valuable wetland homes for many plants and animals.
These radical rodents were once almost hunted to extinction for their prized fur, but today we are building a new relationship with them, and our appreciation of the benefits they offer as habitat creators and water stewards is growing. Packed with facts and personal stories, this book looks at the beaver's biology and behavior and illuminates its vital role as a keystone species. The beaver's comeback is one of North America's greatest conservation success stories and Beavers: Radical Rodents and Ecosystem Engineersintroduces readers to the conservationists, scientists and young people who are working to build a better future for our furry friends.
