Beavers are known for building dams, canals, and lodges, which create wetlands that support a diverse array of wildlife and help to maintain aquatic ecosystems. Their activities can also help to improve water quality and regulate water flow, mitigating the effects of both drought and flooding. Historically, beavers were extensively hunted for their fur and castoreum, pushing them to near extinction. Conservation efforts in various North American regions, including Oregon, have helped to restore beaver populations and ecosystems. The American Beaver is celebrated for its pivotal role in ecological engineering and environmental restoration.
