Eager Beavers - Rodents Engineer Czech Wetland Project After Years Of Human Delay [ecosystem engineers] -- https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/11/beavers-save-czech-taxpayers-by-flooding-ex-army-training-site <-- shared technical media article -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver-engineered_dam_in_the_Czech_Republic <-- shared wiki technical page -- https://phys.org/news/2025-02-fine-beavers-czech-treasury-million.html <-- shared technical article -- https://youtu.be/GSTw8qmBP4Y?si=XK2Iy2pAltW91flj <-- shared video (Czech) -- H/T @ScienceGirl "We don't expect any conflict with the beaver in the next 10 years," ~ Bohumil Fiser from the Czech Nature Conservation Agency -- “For seven years, planners struggled to complete a $1.2 million wetland restoration project in the Brdy region of the Czech Republic. The goal was to build a dam that would improve water management and bring back valuable wetland habitat, but the project remained trapped in a maze of permits and approvals. Then a family of eight Eurasian beavers did what engineers had planned… without permits, machinery, or a budget. The beavers built a network of dams in almost the exact area chosen for the proposed project, naturally restoring the wetland system officials had spent years trying to create. After seeing the results, authorities decided there was little point continuing with the original human-built dam. Although some reports suggested the beavers completed the work overnight, experts say their construction likely took several weeks. The reason it seemed sudden is that the animals quietly worked away until their finished dams became impossible to miss. Beavers are known as “ecosystem engineers” because their behaviour can reshape entire environments. By cutting trees and blocking streams, they create ponds and wetlands that support countless species, including fish, amphibians, insects, birds, and mammals. Their wetlands also act as natural water reservoirs, helping during droughts, reducing flood risks, filtering water, storing carbon, and keeping landscapes wetter during wildfires… Once heavily hunted across Europe, beaver populations have been recovering thanks to conservation efforts, proving that sometimes nature can solve problems humans spend years trying to fix…" #water #hydrology #KlabavaRiver #Czech #BrdyRegion #protected #CzechRepublic #armytraining #military #beaver #Eurasianbeavers #dam #beaverdam #waterquality #restoration #biodiversity #crayfish #wetland #ecology #benefits #Beavers #NatureBasedSolutions #Wetlands #Ecology #Biodiversity #Agroforestry #EnvironmentalScience #Conservation #Wildlife #Ecosystem #bioviversity #conservation #restoration #landscaperecovery #EcosystemEngineers #nature #floodmanagement #FloodMitigation #flood #flooding #energy #floodrisk #sustainability #wetlands #hydrography #dams #impoundment #deadwood #waterresources #landscapeengineer #agriculture #benefits #vegetation #ecology #ecosystem #riversystemsstabilisation #naturalwaterregulation #resilience #drought #wildfire #valleysreborn #slowdetermination #fisheries #invertebrates #extremeweather #floodflows #sediment #baseflow #drought #landmanagement #naturalsystems #landuse #ecosystemengineers #watermanagement

CZ trip 2026, day 6: From Plzeň to Konstantinovy Lázně. Late start because we played the role of a classical tourist in Plzeň - visiting the Pilsner Urquell brewery. A bit wavy trip in terms of altitude changes. Few sips of iron- and CO2-rich water at the end. #bicycle #biketooter #bicycletouring #CzechRepublic

"Record-high temperatures reach eastern Europe "Additional countries are facing record-breaking temperatures as the core of the heat shifts to eastern Europe, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. "According to Anadolu English, a Turkish-based news organization, #Poland recorded an all-time high of 40.5 C (104.9 F) on Sunday, breaking a 105-year-old record. The Polish capital of Warsaw has also implemented public misting stations to mitigate the risk of dehydration and heatstroke. "Temperatures in multiple countries also reached the triple digits last week, reported the U.K. Met Office, including #Spain, #Germany, the #CzechRepublic, the #Netherlands and #Switzerland. "AccuWeather Meteorologist Jason Nicholls explained this heat wave is 'historic' because normal highs in #Paris and #Frankfurt are in the low 70s, meaning these cities have experienced 10 days with temperatures 18-30 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. WHO warns extreme heat is becoming the new normal "Leaders from the World Health Organization (WHO) have also noted the significance of the 'once-in-a-generation' heat wave that is now occurring nearly every year due to #ClimateChange and #Global Warming. " 'Europe is the fastest-warming continent on Earth, heating at twice the global average,' WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X Sunday. 'Right now, 150 million people are living under #ExtremeHeat, hundreds have died, schools are shut, grids are buckling.'

#France records around 1,000 additional deaths as #ExtremeHeat breaks European records 🌡️ 🥵 By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and JOHN LEICESTER Updated 9:30 PM EDT, June 28, 2026 BERLIN (AP) — "France saw around 1,000 additional deaths last week at the height of its record-smashing heat wave, the country’s public health agency said Sunday, as the head of the World Health Organization warned that Europe is now the fastest-warming continent and needs to do more to protect its citizens. "Temperature records were toppled in several countries on the weekend, #wildfires were sparked in #Germany and Berlin police used water cannons to cool down the crowds. "Meanwhile, the heat wave slowly moved toward eastern parts of the continent. "Germany marked a new record for the third day in a row with 41.7 degrees Celsius (107 degrees Fahrenheit) in #Neißemünde, near the border with #Poland, which baked under its new all-time high of 40.5 C (104.9 F). The #CzechRepublic also experienced its hottest day ever with 41.9 C (107.4 F), up from the previous record of 40.9 degrees Celsius (105.6 F) on Saturday. "A new study from the World Weather Attribution, a Europe-based collaboration of scientists, reported Friday that the record-breaking heat and humidity in Europe this past week would not have been possible without #ClimateChange. "The rapid study found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely today than it would have been 20 years ago."
