The Comeback Kids, Book 5, The Martinez Beavers

The narrative highlights the remarkable recovery of the American Beaver, once nearly extinct due to fur hunting, which rebounded through conservation efforts in the 1940s. Their historical significance is underscored, as they were sought after for their fur during early North American exploration, and their meat was consumed by settlers. With a current population of 10 to 15 million, beavers are recognized as a keystone species, enriching ecosystems and serving as a model for sustainable living. The book also celebrates the contributions of its creators in raising awareness about these industrious animals.
