Beavers Saved The Czech Government £1M

One of the articles on this link is about Beavers:

A seven-year dam project in the Czech Republic that was stalled by bureaucracy has been completed in just two days by beavers.

Officials in the Brdy region had secured around Kr30m (£1m) to build a dam in a protected area with the aim of creating a wetland habitat for other species. However, the project became bogged down in bureaucracy. Then, while everyone was sleeping, beavers built the thing for free. 

Beavers have become a totem of the rewilding movement and their handiwork in the Czech Republic is a boost for those campaigning for the return of the animals to their historic habitats. 

“Beavers know best,” Jaroslav Obermajer, of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency, told Radio Prague International. “The places where they build dams are always chosen just right – better than when we design it on paper.”

Perhaps they should be released at the original Russian/Ukrainian border; maybe they'll build a dividing wall and no one need pay for it. 😁

A lovely story, Wolf. Thank you for that.

I read about this a few days ago.

If it was here in the UK the beavers would be ordered to apply for retrospective planning permission and if it wasn't granted they would be compelled to tear down their dam!  🤣

Maybe the Beavers deserve some of the £1m.
