In a stunning sign of ecological recovery, beavers have returned to Detroit for the first time in perhaps a century...."It's part of that larger story of ecological recovery," Hartig said, citing the return of many species to the Detroit River area in recent years. Those include sturgeon, whitefish, peregrine falcons, bald eagles, walleye, and, now, a beaver.
"If it's cleaner for them, it's cleaner for us, too," Hartig said...
The river's ecology is recovering, said Tim Payne, Southeast Michigan wildlife supervisor for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
"There's no question that having a cleaner river is having an impact on species coming back," he said.
