BREAKING: Armed and masked agents of the
U.S. government have invaded the sovereign Tohono O'odham Nation.
BREAKING: We’ve documented significant clearing of protected desert land inside Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument near Quitobaquito Springs for the Trump admin’s second border wall that will run parallel to the existing 30-foot-tall wall.
The historic border wall tree sit in Arizona just went binational with a tree sit in a second cottonwood, right on the international boundary, in Mexico. Read: patagoniaregionaltimes.org/b…

A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

Check out this new footage I found on one of my borderlands trail cameras of a jaguar roaming the wilds of southern AZ near a transnational wildlife movement corridor that is rapidly being closed by border wall construction. More here: biodiv.us/cinco
We sued the Trump Admin to protect the Quitobaquito tryonia, a tiny springsnail found only in Quitobaquito Springs on the US-Mx border.
These springsnails live in a tiny ribbon of desert water that could be destroyed for the useless political theatre of Trump’s 2nd border wall.

Interstate 11’s approval was based on a deeply flawed environmental analysis that the Federal Highway Administration now has a chance to fix.

The top image shows California Gulch flowing from AZ to Mex. It’s one of the last homes for the endangered Sonoran chub, a fish clinging to survival.
But in the fall of 2024, this stream was obliterated. The bottom image is a stark and lifeless reminder of what was lost.
What if we all just bum-rushed the small minority of billionaires in the US? Like if we joined together all on the same day, say next Thursday? Could we take them?
Breaking: @CenterForBioDiv is calling on AZ Game & Fish Commission to ban dog pack hunting for mountain lions, bears, coati & other wildlife. Currently hunters use GPS-collared dogs to track wildlife for miles via smart phone apps & satellites, putting jaguars & ocelots at risk.

While the number of people crossing the border increased exponentially since Trump’s wall went up a new study reveals an 86% reduction in wildlife crossings. At well over $20 million a mile, Trump’s wall is both a wastefully expensive tactical failure & an ecological disaster.
Border wall construction in southern Arizona's Pajarito Mts 4 years ago decimated the Mariposa Canyon watershed as well as jaguar & Mexican spotted owl critical habitat. The area remains in ruin today. Work crews continue to try to stabilize the site & the wall from collapse.
