Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed a "lethal obstacle" in the Rio Grande, comprising saw blades and netting, designed to injure border crossers. This installation, highlighted by Laiken Jordahl of the Center for Biological Diversity, has already led to bodies being discovered in the river.

Jordahl condemns Abbott's initiative as a "death trap" for both people and wildlife, driven by "racist politics" and implemented for a "photo op." These actions have transformed the U.S.-Mexico border into a dangerous zone.

Jeff Corwin joins conservationists in California to protect pinnipeds, including elephant seals and sea lions. Organizations like the Marine Mammal Care Center and Defenders of Wildlife are crucial in rescuing and rehabilitating these animals, which face severe threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat loss, and plastic pollution.

Corwin assists Dr. Lauren Palmer and Andy Johnson in rehabilitating four malnourished California sea lion pups, one of whom ingested plastic. After critical care, tagging, and weighing, the pups are successfully released back into the wild. This effort underscores the vital role of conservation in giving endangered animals a second chance and addressing environmental challenges for ecosystem health.
