CHAMBERLAIN BASIN IDAHO
In 1948, Idaho officials used World War II parachutes to drop 76 beavers into the wilderness in one of America’s strangest conservation experiments
An Idaho game warden in 1948 put a male beaver named ‘Geronimo’ in a parachute box and dropped it from a plane; 76 beavers later faced the same fate and eventually transformed a landscape
In 1910, Beavers nearly disappeared from the US. Today they are reshaping rivers again
