Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed dangerous obstacles, including saw blades and netting, in the Rio Grande, turning the river into a "death trap" for border crossers and wildlife. Bodies were found floating in early August. Laiken Jordahl of the Center for Biological Diversity condemns these actions as "racist politics" and a "photo op," transforming south Texas's natural heritage into a war zone.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature. They work to protect diverse species and their habitats through science, law, and media. Read Laiken Jordahl's full article on Medium: What Texas Should Learn From Arizona’s Border Failure.

The Chumash, a maritime culture for millennia, built strong *tomol* plank canoes to navigate the Channel Islands' treacherous waters. European colonization nearly eradicated this craft through forced assimilation. Today, Alan Salazar and his Chumash and Fernandeño Tataviam communities are revitalizing *tomol* building and paddling, passing vital knowledge to new generations.

Support the Tataviam Land Conservancy’s project to build two *tomols*. This initiative will unite the Fernandeño Tataviam and Chumash tribes through educational events and workshops focused on *tomol* craft, culture, and paddling. Please specify "Tomol Project" when donating at tataviam.land/donation/.
