Officials in the Brdy region of the Czech Republic were at an impasse.

Despite securing more than one million dollars’ worth of funding for a new dam to address water issues, the project had stalled after seven years of planning because the necessary building permits for such a structure couldn’t be acquired.

But then, everyone woke up one morning in January to find that the job had been completed—by eight beavers. For free.
