Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”
Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,
imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
