The beaver colonization is of concern because of the huge impact the species has on landscapes.
As engineers of the landscape, they are known to help prevent climate change. However, their relationship with global warming is complicated and in some places —By building ponds on the tundra, beavers increase the amount of surface water—a change that causes permafrost, which is permanently frozen ground, to thaw.
In a statement, she said:"The true impact of the spread of beavers into the Arctic on the environment and the Indigenous communities who live there, is not yet fully known. However, we do know that that people are concerned about the impact beaver dams are having on water quality, the numbers of fish downstream of the dams, and access for their boats.
