Beavers
“Many animals are cute; very few are ecosystem engineers. Even acknowledging that beavers store water and sustain other creatures is insufficient. Because the truth is that beavers are nothing less than continent-scale forces of nature, in large part responsible for sculpting the land upon which we Americans built our towns and raised our food. Beavers shaped North America’s ecosystems, its human history, its geology. They whittled our world, and they could again—if, that is, we learn to treat them as allies instead of adversaries. Our future must be as entwined with beavers as our past has been, and yet we must completely reverse the nature of our relationship. They will build it, if we let them come.”
