When a long-planned infrastructure project in the Czech Republic hit a snag, beavers took the reigns.
Beavers have no regard for human laws, so even if they’d known that the construction of a dam in the nation’s Brdy region had stalled due to permitting complications, they wouldn’t have cared.
According to Radio Prague International, environmentalists had planned a dam in an area where, years ago, the military had built a drainage system. The new dam was intended to stop the drainage and create a wetland to revitalize the local ecosystem.
The project had been in the planning stages for seven years, and was slated to cost the equivalent of $1.2 million, according to National Geographic. But as officials hashed out the details of securing the necessary permits, a local beaver colony took matters into its own paws, building a natural dam in the perfect location to create a thriving wetland for free.

If this was in the US there would be a lawsuit for building a dam using non-union labor. And then, the beavers would be trapped out by the local Indian tribe and the pelts sold for big money.
Reins, not reigns, HP. 🙄
Maybe the Czech Republic has become the Czech Castorocracy. Wouldn't be the first time a beaver ruled.
Same thing happened in Russia after Chernobyl:
"The beaver dammed the canals and streams recreating the marshlands and causing spring floods to cover a much larger part of the area."

They promptly named it Beaver Dam. (As Hoover Dam was already in use)
Beaver Dams is a hamlet in Schuyler County, New York, United States. The community is located along New York State Route 414, 7.6 miles (12.2 km) southwest of Watkins Glen.
Lumberjerks. Does no good to chew out the fellers either. They live for that kind of treetment.
