Environment be damned or don’t be damned. Because you like them or because you don’t like your neighbors … what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

    Beaver. Always beaver.

    Australia is mostly degraded, channelised shallow creeks and erosion problems. Bam, beaver does all the work for us.

    Can beavers survive in the subtropics?

      Beavers are absolutely insane. Nature’s engineers.

      There’s a cool beaver damn down the road from my camp in NW Florida. I’m seeing some maps that disagree, but that land in considered subtropical on all of them.
