to be fair he deliberately asked for it, and i don't know if that's a thing max does on his channel or he was just being a dick as i haven't watched much of his stuff.
@@artificiallift9110 No, simply because that is not what I wrote. You mean people telling others that they need to learn because they are lacking some valuable information and that without it they are dumb. Very condescending. I wrote that he is taking steps to learn on his own about something he realises he doesn't have much experience with. Not telling anyone to do something but complementing them because not a lot of people do it sincerely.
As an ecology student I’m going to elaborate on the beaver point (because I’m an absolute nerd lol) They’re not really being ‘reintroduced’ properly because all the current projects have them fenced in so they can’t actually get into the wild. The government is very hesitant to make reintroductions (boo). But beavers are super important to our ecosystems because they will create tons of new habitats for rare species such as water voles, newts, etc. by damming up rivers which creates flooded areas. This also improves river flow and stops flooding from occurring in towns/villages further downstream. Win win. In Scotland some of the half-reintroduced beavers ‘escaped’ their fenced pens (some theories are that ecologists released them lol) and now the population has been officially recognised as wild by the Scottish government. Let’s hope the same happens in England! If you want more info check out a video I did where I visited a beaver reintroduction project :)
It's a shame they haven't been more widely reintroduced (coming from a student who studies palaeoecology with a little less knowledge of conservation) as beaver ponds were once an integral part of English wetlands. Didn't know they were buffers against flooding, how does that work? Wouldn't it be a shame if someone were to accidentally let a large number escape in the south west..
@@oliver8928 oh for sure, are you studying in the southwest? I’m with Exeter in Cornwall, there’s a farm nearby with them. I’d love to sneak there at night one day and let them go lol Well because the beavers dam the river upstream it creates flooded wetland areas as you said, which holds a lot more water. So if it rains a lot instead of all the water gushing town into town further downstream where it can’t be absorbed and flooding, it seeps further into unsaturated soil around the dams upstream and just expands wetland. Of course the downside to this is if that land is being used as productive farmland it’s more susceptible to flooding. My uni did research that showed beavers reduce peak flow of floodwater in streams
@@solarpunkalana Didn't some get released around near ottery st mary a while ago? eco science student here too :) www.devonwildlifetrust.org/what-we-do/our-projects/river-otter-beaver-trial
@@solarpunkalana I don't know, they should! i got interested so i read their annual report - seems like it's all going really well so hopefully the gov will be more open to them being reintroduced after this :)
@@bnap3221 If you don't know what the words "First Nations" mean then you are unqualified to speak on subject of Canadian colonialism, and your opinion is worthless.
The guy in yellow seems cool, the rest look as if they hate Rashford; especially the one on the scooter he looks like he wouldn't survive a week in North West England with them knackered jokes. Great video once again max!!!
Hey Max, I really love your content (especially Streetsmart!) but I'm really disappointed that you're not wearing a mask :( Especially as a lot of the "bad news" this year has been because of the pandemic, and the UK is currently in a second wave. Just for context, I live in Sydney, Australia, where yesterday the country reported 42 new cases. In the UK, yesterday they reported over 19,000. In a single day! The pandemic is far from over, and I know that you're not doing anything illegal, but your government's response has been to save the economy, not people's lives. I really hope in the future that if you choose to continue the series, you do it responsibly. You have quite a big platform here and it would be awesome to see you advocate for mask-wearing to keep yourself and others safe. Have a great one :)
