*** About North American Beaver: The North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) is one of two extant beaver species and is native to North America. A keystone species, it plays a critical role in biodiversity and the ecological health of wetland environments. Beavers are known for their natural trait of building dams on rivers and streams, which creates wetlands that are beneficial for many species including fish, birds, and amphibians. Their abilities to modify their habitat earn them unique recognition among environmentalists and scientists. The beaver's construction activities can also positively affect the hydrological and sediment structures of their environment, supporting a complex ecosystem that forms the base of the food chain in aquatic habitats.:
