All just even I mean, the, you know, we've got entomologists and ornithologists and fluvial geomorphologists and all kinds of all just that are coming together to realize, hey, the beaver is like at the nexus of a lot of what we do. And so. I think it's a growing awareness.

You know, we had so much of the 20th century between the early 1910s or so through the late 1900s, where we, one, just didn't have the eyes to see beavers. And we didn't have the beavers actually physically weren't there. And so they were kind of out of sight, out of mind for a while. But one of the great thinkers that helped reverse that a lot was this guy named Robert Nyman.

And he was a hydrologist and ecologist that really showed, wow, beavers had a huge impact on the North American continent. And he was one of the first people to just show, OK, if there were millions of beavers, what kind of water storage did that do? What did that do differently than a concrete dam, that word type of building? And so he looked at a lot of those things.

And and that was in the late 80s, early 1990s when he started doing that. And then another one of his students, Michael Pollack, really took that into the fish realm a little bit and looked at, hey, these coho salmon. They spend 18 months of their life in fresh water when they are in fresh water for that long. The beaver pond is like a nursery pond.

for all their their feeding and growth before they go out to sea in these pacific coastal systems and so he did a lot of work with coho salmon and he was actually one of the big guys launching the kind of beaver revolution in 2014 really is when a lot of people really started to take off with this of of just like yes they are answering a lot of things for for fish as well as other species
