Wellll...technically it is a Linky Love contender.

Oh right, beaverS...
If the &^%%$$ trees weren't cut down by the little rascals the CO2 would be taken up in the trees' growth; sequestration in the soil wouldn't even be a factor. (F'ng academics. Can't see the forest for the trees.)
The real benefit of course is the creation of wetlands.
As you probably know, We Canadians eat beaver...a lot; they're even on our Canadian nickel! :)
It's common knowledge that our Capital is the place to go for beaver:

Hell, beaver is a staple in my diet. Some of us Southerners call 'em "Whiskerbiscuits", though. Some of them come au naturale, but, for the more discriminating palate, others are served up sans pelt.

I believe that I recently posted a link in the comments to that lovely bit of Snoochery as a candidate for the "Linky Love" stable. ;-)
