These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million

Do we really think that a beaver dam is the same level of safety/long term investment as a $1.2 million dam?

I get that they're trying to be clever or whatever with this headline, but it just comes off as more low-key "government can't work" propaganda.

I mean, the dam is self-repairing.

The dam is also environmentally friendly - beavers have been building dams in the area for 30 million years, the ecosystems are evolved to live with beaver dams.
