Beavers are an important part of the environment and play a key role in maintaining healthy habitats. They are keystone species in many ecosystems, as their actions create a number of beneficial changes in the landscape. The dams they build create ponds and wetlands which in turn provide valuable habitat for many species. These ponds also act as natural flood control systems that help to filter runoff and improve water quality. Additionally, these wetlands can sequester more carbon than some other types of ecosystems, making them important for helping to build resiliency to climate change. For these reasons, beavers are an important species for preserving biodiversity and sustaining healthy ecosystems.

Beavers are found throughout much of North America and in parts of Europe and Asia. They prefer to live in areas with plenty of water and access to trees, as they rely on both for food and building materials. Beavers typically make their homes in ponds, rivers, and streams, and build dams to create deeper pools of water and wetlands. These provide important habitat for other species and help filter out pollutants from the water. Additionally, beavers engineer their environment to create meadows, which attract other species and create a diverse ecosystem.
