While contractors build a 30-foot-tall steel border wall southeast of Tucson, wildlife advocates are racing to document where animals cross the border most often and hoping federal officials will consider taking down sections of wall that block those corridors...
To identify the corridors most used by wildlife, the Wildlands Network in January set up scores of motion-activated wildlife cameras in the San Bernardino Valley in southeastern Cochise County, where contractors already built some 15 miles of new wall. Meanwhile, the Sky Island Alliance is running a similar camera project east of Nogales in the San Rafael Valley and the nearby mountains...
Since last summer, contractors have built about 60 miles of new wall in the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, just under half of the 137 miles of wall planned for the sector’s 262 miles of border...
the Sky Island Alliance set up a grid of cameras along 34 miles of the border in March. The grid runs from the Patagonia Mountains, across the San Raphael Valley, to the Huachuca Mountains.
They are looking for the most important wildlife corridors, which will “clarify conservation priorities,” said Emily Burns, the organization’s program director.
“Even if it isn’t influencing at the moment the current administration about wall construction,” the data gathered by the cameras will be important in future discussions of the wall, Burns said.
She anticipates a “series of compromises” after the border wall is completed. The corridors identified by the camera project “will be the places we’ll be championing where we need to tear down the wall,” she said.

Only in the left wing echo chambers.
Human life > animal life. Even dogs, believe it or not.
So the cartel can use real mules to smuggle their drugas?
The Left turns its evil eye toward unsecuring the Arizona border, should they gain power in the coming election.
Their excuse: For the animals.
I wonder how Animals are impacted by The Great Wall of China?
I assume the ones that get past it and make their way into China are Tortured to Death and Eaten.
They’ll adjust, or die. Who cares?
well birds at least are ok
>>>well birds at least are ok<<<<
At least until the Left puts Windmills on top of the Wall.
They care about the animals only if and when it suits their narrative.
Once again, my give a f_ck gauge is below empty.
Notice how the northern side of the barrier is more green than the south side? Almost like Israel and her neighbors.
Trouble for four and two legged animals
Four legs are better than two?
Animals live within a myriad of constraints. A wall is a good thing for most animals.
it provides the security of a safe space. Animals typically thrive along natural boundaries. The wall is just such a natural boundary, providing protection, shelter, and security for many animals. There are no animals on our southern border that naturally migrate, none.
Hey, evolution, right?
I wonder how Animals are impacted by The Great Wall of China?

or the four others built before the current one.
There are no ***FOUR LEGGED*** animals on our southern border that naturally migrate, none.
They will adapt just like they do when their supply of food dries up and move elsewhere. Maybe these sobbing folks could reason with illegals not to across the border and we wouldn’t need barriers.
Hey, illegal aliens are people, too! No need to call them “animals.”
