#2Maybe I missed it, why didn't they just reintroduce beavers?

TFA implies the issue is land owners won’t allow it:

The beavers are still there, just not in high numbers like they used to be. Right now the ecosystem can only support the population that is already there. Maybe eventually it will support more and then the number will increase naturally.

Which they never will on their own, so surely conservation regulations need to be enforced, too bad the US is moving backwards right now in that regard

Then you get people (understandably) upset that just about any work they want to do to improve their own private land needs to involve the EPA and/or a local wildlife commission.

Ignoring externalities remains popular.
We live in a society. I can’t build a helipad on my roof in the middle of Seattle. Technically that’s a limitation on my personal liberty. We accept it because of the cost to the people around me.

My guess is that trees are not there in numbers enough to support beavers. Or maybe they don't want beavers chopping the trees.

Good? They don't own the commons.

#10It was an interesting, but counterintuitive result that water temperatures went down after artificial beaver damming. Their theory is that the water is able to permeate more into the ground and exchange heat with the ambient underground temperature [1]
