Beavers are immensly important for the environment for that very instinct. Where they go instinct, the land dries out and floods become much more severe.
How did nature cope before beavers existed?
Fun thing is nature always copes. When we've lit the atmosphere on fire and been killed off by climate change, chances are long after we're gone life will persist and leave us irresponsible children behind.
It's beautiful, in a way.
Some plants are going to enjoy all that extra co2
Not as good lol. Nature is constantly evolving and improving and beavers are such an improvement.
Nature is just a process of change. There is no improvement or deterioration, and it's not building towards some final goal or state.
Slow land accumulation in tree roots.
