Netherlands Put 42 Beavers in a Dead Delta — What They Did With Mud and Sticks Was Insane

🌿 Rewild Your Backyard — Field Guide → https://nature-recode-vault.pages.dev In 1988, the Netherlands released 42 beavers into the Biesbosch National Park — the first beavers in Dutch rivers since 1826. They came from Germany, survived high early mortality, barely bred for the first three years, and nearly failed entirely. Today there are between 6,000 and 7,000 beavers in the Netherlands. And they are building 17-meter tunnels under the dykes that protect the most flood-vulnerable country on Earth. This is the story of what 42 animals did to one of the most engineered river systems in the world — and why the Netherlands is now facing a problem nobody planned for. #Rewilding #Beavers #Netherlands
