Environment be damned or don't be damned. Because you like them or because you don't like your neighbors ... what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

Beaver. Always beaver.

Australia is mostly degraded, channelised shallow creeks and erosion problems. Bam, beaver does all the work for us.

Can beavers survive in the subtropics?

I believe so. I think there was a big thing about European settlers introducing beavers to Peru or northern Chile and causing ecological havoc

Beavers are absolutely insane. Nature's engineers.
