The Beaver Believers
The Beaver Believers is the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists – five scientists and a hairdresser – who share a common vision: restoring the North American Beaver, that most industrious, ingenious, bucktoothed engineer, to the watersheds of the arid West. A keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the complexity and resiliency needed to absorb the impacts of climate change. The Beaver Believers encourage us to embrace a new paradigm of land management, and will inspire you to take a bite out of the challenges we face, one stick at a time.
