Target: Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada
Goal: Advocate for increased protections for the North American beaver, a keystone species that supports many other wildlife species.
The North American beaver is a vital keystone species that plays an essential role in supporting many other wildlife species and maintaining the ecological balance of Canada’s ecosystems. Beavers create wetlands and ponds that serve as habitats for fish, amphibians, birds, and other wildlife. They also help to improve water quality, control floods, and prevent erosion. However, the North American beaver faces numerous threats, including habitat loss, trapping, and climate change.
Without immediate action, the North American beaver’s population will continue to decline, leading to a loss of critical wetland habitats and a decline in the populations of many other wildlife species. As a keystone species, the North American beaver’s protection is vital to maintaining the ecological balance of Canada’s ecosystems.
Increased protections for the North American beaver would include measures such as habitat conservation, restrictions on trapping, and public education programs to raise awareness of the importance of this keystone species. These measures would help to preserve the beaver’s critical role in supporting other wildlife species and maintaining the health of Canada’s ecosystems.
In light of the urgent need to protect our environment and preserve the biodiversity of Canada’s ecosystems, we call for swift and decisive action to increase protections for the North American beaver.
Through increased protections, we can help to ensure the North American beaver’s continued survival and maintain the ecological balance of Canada’s ecosystems. Demand action immediately.

To protect the beaver is kind.
To not protect the beaver is shooting yourself in the foot. OUCH!
