Plenty of beavers here by the river Meuse in Belgium (Namur-Dinant), they found their own way recently. They are fun, emerge mainly at night when few people are looking. But they do fell big trees on the riverbank - I read that lets them eat the bark in the winter.
Didn't read the whole article, but the whole thing reads as very anthropocentric to me. It seems that the entire discussion is around human/Native relationships to trees and whether we've grieved/learned our lesson enough. Which put humans entirely at the center of the narrative, when the narrative should primarily be around the tree's ecological relationships to all of nature. Hell, the article even mentions moth species that have gone extinct due to the downfall of the tree but fails to recognize that maybe humans shouldn't be the center or the universe in this narrative.
This seemed like a big win until I saw the graph. Holy shit either reporting changed alot, or there’s a long way to go before things are even remotely okay.
I clicked on it expecting just a simple “they’re genetic clones and they’re susceptible this same disease”, but this is quite a bit more depth about things. Thanks for sharing!
