Beaver Population Dynamics

The discussion reveals the dramatic decline of beaver populations in North America, from an estimated 400 million to just 100,000 due to historical fur trade practices. Despite their patchy recovery, beavers are resilient creatures that do not require human intervention for population control. Conflicts arise as humans and beavers inhabit the same desirable areas, but there are non-lethal solutions for coexistence that can mitigate these tensions.
