Many people enjoy the cute rodents, but land and forest owners less so. This is because beavers like to gnaw on trees and eat branches. They can also dam up streams and undermine flood defence dams until the water overflows and floods meadows or houses. But the beaver is also a very useful animal. According to a research project by the Federal Office for the Environment, it contributes greatly to biodiversity. As a tireless creator, it has created an ecosystem in Marthalen (ZH), for example, to which dragonflies, amphibians, fish and aquatic plants have returned. Beaver expert Christof Angst calls beavers "the best promoters of biodiversity". It is also the largest rodent in Europe, and a beaver can grow heavier than a deer. Beavers were once extinct in Switzerland, but were then successfully reintroduced. Today there are around 5000 beavers in Switzerland again.
