Description
Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter
Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb reveals a profound truth about the natural world: our modern idea of a healthy landscape is distorted by the loss of a single species - the beaver. Once nearly wiped out by the fur trade, beavers have been reintroduced to many ecosystems, with remarkable results.
The consequences of losing beavers were far-reaching: streams eroded, wetlands dried up, and species from salmon to swans lost vital habitat. Today, a growing coalition of "Beaver Believers" recognizes the importance of these industrious rodents in maintaining healthy ecosystems. This book is a powerful story about the impact of beavers on our landscapes, our wildlife, and our planet.
