Which species is often referred to as the ‘engineer of the ecosystem’?

A Termite
B Centipede
C Beaver

Correct Answer: Beaver

Fact: These semi-aquatic rodents build dams from logs, mud, and vegetation, creating wetlands that support diverse wildlife. The wetlands help regulate water flow, reduce flooding, and improve water quality by filtering out sediments. Beavers also enhance biodiversity by providing habitats for fish, birds, and amphibians.
