The Center’s Laiken Jordahl recently discussed the looming threat of a border wall through Big Bend National Park on NPR’s Studio 1A. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued the largest wall construction contract in American history for this region.

A wall would transform this remote park into an industrial zone, severing wildlife from vital water sources and blocking public access to the Rio Grande, effectively ending river recreation.

We've been on the front lines, suing DHS last month to stop construction in Big Bend. We are committed to its permanent protection. Please share this message to raise awareness and support our ongoing efforts.

Despite a previously unknown jaguar sighting in southern Arizona, border-wall construction crews recently detonated explosions in Coronado National Memorial. This destruction impacts federally protected critical jaguar habitat, along with threatened Mexican spotted owls and the endangered beardless chinchweed flower.

Russ McSpadden of the Center for Biological Diversity, who filmed the destruction, stated the wall "will fracture jaguar migration routes, choke genetic diversity, and wipe out natural connections." The administration waived environmental laws to accelerate this work, setting the stage for "long-term ecological collapse."

The Biden administration plans to waive 26 environmental laws for new border wall construction in Texas. This threatens fragile habitats near a national wildlife refuge, cutting off wildlife like cougars and bobcats from the Rio Grande, and potentially destroying endangered plants crucial for monarch butterflies. The Center for Biological Diversity actively opposes these plans.

After weeks of protests, legal action, and public comments, the last shipping container from former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's rogue border wall was removed. This anti-immigrant symbol sliced through a vital wildlife corridor, impacting endangered jaguars and ocelots. The Center's Russ McSpadden called it "perhaps the only major border wall removed globally since the Berlin Wall." Taxpayers, however, still pay millions for Ducey's destructive stunt.

The U.S.-Mexico border wall threatens the Patagonia Mountains, a vital migration corridor for jaguars like El Jefe. This construction severs crucial habitat.

Northern jaguars' recovery depends on halting further wall construction and removing existing sections.

In its final weeks, the Trump administration is rapidly constructing border wall miles. This effort involves bulldozing protected public lands, dynamiting mountains, and destroying habitats vital for endangered species.

President-elect Joe Biden pledged "Not Another Foot" of wall would be built under his leadership. He is expected to fulfill this promise immediately upon taking office on January 20, permanently halting further construction.

A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report details the extreme environmental harm caused by the U.S.-Mexico border wall built under former President Trump. Constructed without environmental reviews and despite Native Tribes’ concerns, the wall destroyed critical habitats, killed countless saguaro cactuses, and impacted endangered species like ocelots and jaguars. The GAO now recommends the federal government repair this damage.
