Celebrate #InternationalBeaverDay – April 7!
#beavers are more than fascinating watchable #wildlife; learning to coexist with this species can help solve major environmental problems.By building dams beavers restore the land’s most valuable #ecosystem, wetlands.Not only are wetlands havens of life with #biodiversity comparable to tropical rain forests,they also provide essential services, such as water cleansing, #climate regulation, and moderating the flow of streams.

In honour of #InternationalBeaverDay, here are three medieval British beaver stories which people often get wrong... 1. CANTERBURY TALES In Geoffrey Chaucer's Middle English 'Canterbury Tales', the Merchant character is shown 'high on horse' wearing a beaverskin hat from Flanders (now in Belgium)

Worth celebrating!

And recalling that the #beaver #emoji was successfully proposed by an alliance of Canadians and lesbians 🏳️‍🌈🦫🇨🇦

About Dam Time
The hilarious, extremely convincing proposal to make a beaver emoji.

Happy International Beaver Day! These animal engineers improve the environment with dams that filter water and raise water tables.

My beaver lino block print is hand printed on delicate, translucent, handmade Japanese paper with a deckle edge. This is a North American beaver (Castor canadensis), symbol of Canada. 🇨🇦

April 7 is International Beaver Day. While a species of “least concern” according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, numbers of North American beavers have been literally decimated since colonization. 🧵1/

Am 7. April ist der Internationale Tag der #Biber bzw. #InternationalBeaverDay. Es ist der Geburtstag der amerikanischen Biberforscherin Dorothy Richards (1894 – 1985) und wurde 2009 von der Organisation „#Beavers: #Wetlands & #Wildlife“ ausgerufen.
Wie kein anderes #Wildtier ist der Biber in der Lage, Lebensräume zu verändern und zu gestalten. Sein Einfluss ist so groß, dass er wahrscheinlich zur Entstehung vieler Arten beigetragen hat.

#InternationalBeaverDay

C'est la journée mondiale du castor, souvent considéré à tort comme un animal nuisible parce qu'il "modifie la nature" (alors que contrairement à une autre espèce, il améliore l'environnement au lieu de le détruire).

Photo prise l'an dernier dans un Parc-Nature, car oui, ils peuvent être croisés ici à l'état sauvage.

(j'étais plus loin que la photo semble montrer, celui de gauche n'a même pas eu connaissance de notre passage 😴 )

Le 7 avril, c'est la journée mondiale du castor. 🦫
L’activité des castors contribue à recharger les nappes phréatiques, à prévenir les inondations et à conserver l’eau durant les périodes de sécheresse. Leur présence favorise le rétablissement de la forêt après un incendie et augmente la #biodiversité (jusqu'à 33%, selon plusieurs études). https://parcs.canada.ca/pn-np/mb/riding/nature/animals/mammals/castors-beavers

It's #internationalBeaverDay !?

Dziś obchodzimy Światowy Dzień Bobra. Z tej okazji publikuję parę nagrań bobrzych odgłosów i hałasów, które zrobiłem w tym roku na terenie Torfowisk Orawsko-Nowotarskich. Kompleks Torfowisk powinien być już dawno ogłoszony Orawskim Parkiem Narodowym i oby w przyszłości tak się stało.

Polecam i zapraszam do odsłuchu!

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay!

I hope to see my first Beaver this year; I think they've been working on reestablishing them to slow down the mountain streams that got way too fast and hot for the salmon

For #InternationalBeaverDay I don't have a photo of a beaver but one with signs of the little engineer. I hope it counts!

Mrs. Beaver: Where do you think you're going?

Mr. Beaver: It's #NationalBeerDay I'm going out with my colony of boys.

Mrs. Beaver: I'll be dammed if you do.
Put's her paddle up and blocks the door.

Woman walking past the beaver exhibit in the zoo when the wind catches her skirt.

Beaver: I could build a fur lined dam out of that.

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay! With recent legislation allowing the release of beavers into the wild in England, this might be the best one yet 🦫 But why are beavers so important? 🧵1/6

Scientists are just beginning to study the impacts of beaver dams on the tundra

For #InternationalBeaverDay, my favorite Onion headline.

🦫 Apparently today is #InternationalBeaverDay

In Canada, every day is beaver day.

So... ummm ... 🦫 Happy Beaver, eh!

April 7 is #InternationalBeaverDay - I wish I had a photo of a beaver to show you but it was apparently too busy to have its portrait taken. Instead I have a photo of its latest masterpiece.

Do you have any photos of beavers?
