The Brdy Protected Landscape Area (PLA) Administration of the Czech Republic had secured hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of funding to address a bypass gully in the Klabava River, which was draining water out of valuable wetland areas.
捷克共和國布爾迪保護景觀區（PLA）管理局已經獲得了價值數十萬英鎊的資金，用于解決克拉瓦瓦河（Klabava River）的一條旁路溝渠的問題，該溝渠正在從寶貴的濕地地區排水。
The revitalisation plan had become bogged down in administrative red tape as officials tried to obtain building permits from local authorities in charge of the land.
但是，繁瑣的手續和各單位漫長的協商導致這個項目7年都無法動工。
Just as the project appeared dead in the water, a family of about eight European beavers swooped in to save it last month.
就在這個項目似乎已經胎死腹中之際，上個月，一個大約8只成員的河貍家庭突然趕來，拯救了它。
"Nature took its course," Bohumil Fi?er, the head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, where the revitalization project was planned, said in the statement. The beavers began working before the excavators could even break ground and had created the ideal environmental conditions "practically overnight".
布里迪自然保護區負責人Bohumil Fi?er透露，就在各單位還在協商解決土地所有權問題的時候，河貍在挖機動土之前就免費修建了一個水壩，他們用牙齒啃斷樹木，再混合樹枝、泥巴等材料，“幾乎在一夜之間”創造了理想的環境。
The rodents construct river barriers with trees and branches which they have cut apart with their front teeth, as well with mud, stones and grass. It was not immediately clear specifically when the dams were built and how long it took to build them.
不過目前還不清楚這些水壩具體是什么時候建成的，也不清楚建造它們花了多長時間。有專家表示，他并不懷疑河貍出色的建筑天賦，但是它們建造一座真正的水壩可能需要幾周的時間。
Fi?er said the estimated savings to the Czech purse reached 30 million Czech koruna. "They built a wetland with pools and canals. The area is roughly twice larger than planned."
負責人Fi?er還表示，這將節省3000萬捷克克朗（約合人民幣910萬元），河貍們打造了一個既有池塘還有水道的濕地，而且大約是計劃面積的兩倍。
Jaroslav Obermajer, branch head of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency, said of the beaver's opportune timing: "Beavers always know best. The places where they build dams are always chosen just right – better than when we design it on paper."
捷克自然與景觀保護局局長雅羅斯拉夫·奧伯馬耶（Jaroslav Obermajer）在談到海貍的最佳時機時說：“海貍總是最了解情況。他們建水壩的地方總是選得恰到好處——比我們在紙上設計的要好。”
