New York Released 34 Beavers Into the Adirondacks — What 80 Years Did Was Unreal
New York Released 34 Beavers Into the Adirondacks — What 80 Years Did Was Unreal In 1900, the beaver was functionally extinct across New York State. Fewer than ten survived in a single family near Saranac Lake. Then, between 1901 and 1907, conservationists released just 34 beavers back into the Adirondacks. Eighty years later, those 34 animals had multiplied into a population of over fifty thousand and accidentally created one of the most powerful climate defense systems in North America. This is the story of the most successful wildlife reintroduction in American history. 📚 SOURCES & FURTHER READING Harry V.
