Post 935: March 5th, 2022. One of Trump's largest campaign promises was to build a "big, beautiful wall" along the U.S.-Mexico border. While the wall never got built in its entirety, there are large sections that were finished. Some are still pushing for the completion of the wall, but its completion isn't just a question of ethics, but conservation. . The concept of the border wall is to limit illegal immigration - but in reality, it cuts off access for everything. Especially for endangered species like jaguars, ocelots, and Sonoran pronghorn, their populations could become fragmented to the point of collapse if separated by a large wall. Migratory species (other than birds that can fly over the wall) would also see detrimental impacts as their way of life would be entirely altered. Even for species of little conservation concern, a large wall would limit access to important water sources (a thing few and far between for somewhere like the Southwest/Mexican desert). . .

Graphic shows a long concrete barrier with American flags at the top. The factoid reads: "A completed U.S.-Mexico border wall would disrupt migration patterns, segment at-risk species, and limit access to water." . . #teardownthiswall #conservation #animalconservation #desertconservation #sonorandesert #southwest #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals #pixelplanet #pixelplanettoday #pixelart #planetfacts #artivism #climatedesign
