I think it's time to start "exporting" a few Canadian beavers to some of these countries and watch the environmental havoc unfold

The Canadian beaver... an oversized rat that can deforest a river bank, then turn a good chunk of said river into a lake.
Yep, some years back a few Canadian beavers managed to make it into Russia. They wreaked some havoc but fortunately, it was in the relatively unpopulated Urals.
PBS Nature/National Geographic had an excellent story about the poor beaver. Turns out, it's absolutely vital to a healthy ecosystem. A small beaver dam can store enough water to flood a valley and feed hundreds of animals and insects of diverse species.
Beavers are also a cheap way to get lots of water for farmers to irrigate crops, instead of draining rivers and streams.
Don't diss' the mighty beaver!!
