This Beaver Dam is So Huge, You Can See It from Space | Climate Heroes

In Canada, a beaver family has built a dam extending 850m - that’s more than twice as long as the Hoover Dam. It’s so big it can be seen from outer space. But that’s not the only reason NASA is interested in this architecturally minded species… Increasing diversity and resilience, not to mention creating wetlands, are just some of the impacts beavers can have on their surroundings. What does this mean for the wider environment? And how can we humans learn from it?

Twice as long =/= twice the size. How do the dams compare in terms of how much water each of the two retains? Basically how many tons of water is pressing up against each of the two dams. I doubt the beaver dam comes close to beating hoover dam.

When I was a kid, beavers were almost extinct where I live. Beavers were my favourite animal when I was a kid, so I went from door to door in my town to collect money to donate. Nowadays, we have more and more beaver families living in our country.

This video also made me remember the absurd "beaver drop" in 1948 Idaho, the program to relocate beavers from northwestern Idaho to central Idaho (so this was a nice update for me). We got beavers around our summer cottage, but they don't build dams (most beavers in Finland don't). Beavers are soooo nice. And they apparently taste ok, too, one hunter told me.

A small riverside stop bank built around 1900 in Takaka NZ had it's original construction as loose water permeable stones to reduce, but not stop the flooding around town after a very large flood event so that the rest of the flood plain did not shoulder the extra burden of water. This was done in conjunction with the building of groan's along the riverbank to stabilize the channel. This also worked to filter out large debris from escaping the channel along with the planting of barberry riverside hedges downstream of this stop bank for the same effect. In the 100 following years silt, and trapped organic matter did build an earth shield on the topside of the bank till the original design effect was mostly lost. Watching this video I can see similarity's in the approach to different hydrology problems. We don't necessarily have to have hard solutions to engineering problems.

I am here to say this: "Not with parachutes" is a statement that ignores COMPLETLY the fact that all the transportation means back then put so much stress onto the beavers, they had high mortality rates. Why? because it took days, if not weeks, and the beavers would die, because they got too hot. The parachute method actually made them all survive, except Kevin, who only died because he thought "fuck that, I don't need a parachute!" and did the R. Kelly and just jumped off the plane, and just believed he could fly. You could say he was a petunia pot that had his first drop. So, when you say "via horse", then that is what they did back then, which killed the beavers. The only reason we can do it now with "mechnical horse" is the technological advance. If you want to throw shade, throw it with all the knowledge presented. Thank you very much.

Using hockey rinks to explain how much water was a bad choice; it just raises more questions about how much water that is. How deep is the water in the hockey rink? Only as deep as the ice?

Nope. Beaver tooth enamel has calcium phosphate too - a crystal structure called hydroxylapatite. It is the material that surrounds the hydroxylapatite that contains minerals such as magnesium or iron. Beaver tooth enamel just has significantly more iron in this surrounding material that makes it more durable and resists acidic erosion better.

I've seen the beaver dams out there and let me tell you, they build so well they flood the ATV paths around the area during the seasonal melts.

Beaver dams can also make floods worse. I work in an area with a lot of beaver dams, and they have a tendency to trap a lot of water, then collapse during high precipitation periods. It creates a huge surge of water that knocks out bridges, roads, and even knocks down trees along the water.
@terramater 21 күн бұрын
Hi @VPCh., we appreciate your insight and understand that the impact of beavers and their dam-building activities can vary greatly depending on local conditions and contexts. While there can definitely be challenges like the ones you've outlined, beavers also play a significant role in creating wetlands, increasing biodiversity, and even contributing to climate resilience. Balancing these benefits with potential risks like flooding is certainly crucial. Thanks for sparking an important discussion and we hope our content can contribute to a broader understanding of our ecosystem. ❤️🦫

@terramater Thanks for the reply. I definitely agree that beavers do a lot great things for the environment and our wetlands. But of course, as with any natural system, their impact is too complex to be classified as entirely positive or negative to our way of life. Which was what I was hoping to point out in my comment. Thank you for your videos and for raising awareness about the importance of beavers to our wetland ecosystem!

I truly believe beavers can save the planet. I understand the development of humans had to create something to flourish, but now we are settled and much more educated on the planet. We need to take a serious look at introducing them in places where hydration in needed. Beavers are such an amazing creature

The role beavers play in increasing biodiversity, resilience, and helping in the creation of wetlands makes them a vital part of our environment, and like you, we think their contribution deserves more recognition and consideration. Thank you for being part of our conversation!

It strikes me more and more how everything lives mostly in harmony except HUMANS.
@coreym162 Ай бұрын
Who says? We kind of do the same things. Like what's going on in Southern California. The animals follow a corridor of human development down from the Sierras into the Salton Sea and Mexico. Just because, we can damage the environment doesn't mean it's all we do. To think destruction is all we do then don't get mad when another human wrongs you because, they share your unhealthy ideology of "Human bad".

Have you not heard of predators? There are many types of animals that chase other animals down, kill them and eat them. That's not living in harmony.

If we went back to hunting, gathering, and small scale farming then we would return to harmony with nature. But, most people, especially those who cry the loudest over the environment, don't actually want that.
