The Comeback Kids, Book 5, The Martinez Beavers

Meer over het boek

The American Beaver, once nearly extinct due to fur hunting, made a remarkable recovery in the 1940s through conservation efforts. Historically significant for its fur in early North American exploration, the beaver also provided food for Native peoples and settlers. Today, their population ranges between 10 to 15 million, still below historical estimates. As a keystone species, beavers enhance their ecosystems, inviting diverse wildlife and benefiting their habitats. This book celebrates the beaver's resilience and ecological importance, featuring contributions from poet Penelope Dyan and photographer John Weigand.
