"Beavers aren’t called ecosystem engineers for nothing. Their dams can rebuild eroded streams and create lush wetland habitat suitable to elk and insect alike. Meanwhile, the dams create ponds that can store water longer in the face of drought. The benefits of beaver labor are so compelling that western land managers have started copying their work, building what are known as beaver dam analogs, or BDAs."
