She said the wall harmed efforts \u201cafter many decades of binational cooperation between the US and Mexico to protect this fragile and biodiverse region. I don\u2019t think Americans realize what is at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">What\u2019s at stake is the historically unparalleled separation of wildlife populations along the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/ecology-and-evolution\/articles\/10.3389\/fevo.2024.1487911\/full\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">more than 635 miles of pedestrian border wall<\/a> \u2013 largely impassable to anything bigger than a jackrabbit \u2013 that has been built along the southern border. \u201cThis [the border wall] is a massive uncontrolled experiment in the evolutionary history of wildlife species in the borderlands,\u201d said Laiken Jordahl, south-west conservation advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cThe places that are still unwalled are some of the most remote, rugged, and important habitats for wildlife that we have left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">New Mexico and Arizona have approximately 391 miles of the pedestrian border wall, 263 miles of which were constructed during the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">A recent Wildlands Network and Sky Islands Alliance study showed the impact of the pedestrian border wall (30ft-high steel pillars 4in apart) on wildlife movement and habitat connectivity in the exceptionally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontierbotany.info\/projects\/madrean-sky-islands\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">biodiverse <\/a>Sky Island region of Sonora Mexico and the south-western US.

Trump has criticized the Biden administration\u2019s auctioning off border wall materials, describing the sales as \u201calmost a criminal act\u201d that would cost taxpayers millions of dollars when Trump resumes border wall construction. \u201cThey know we\u2019re going to use it, and if we don\u2019t have it, we\u2019re going to have to rebuild it, and it\u2019ll cost double what it cost years ago,\u201d said Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">However, precise plans for the border wall remain unclear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cNo one has any idea what the hell is about to happen,\u201d said Jordahl. \u201cWe\u2019re definitely bracing ourselves for the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"dcr-z9ge1j\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\"><strong>The border wall was a signature priority<\/strong> of Trump\u2019s first candidacy, made possible by the expansive powers given to the Department of Homeland Security by Congress. These powers allowed for the bypassing of federal laws to speed up construction and bolster border security through Customs and Border Protection, the nation\u2019s largest law enforcement agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Ricky Garza, border policy counsel with the Southern Border Communities Coalition, has witnessed the steady creep of border militarization in the Rio Grande valley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cThat entire area is just being choked off by border patrol presence,\u201d Garza said, referring to the growing number of green-and-white border patrol vehicles, immigration checkpoints, and border infrastructure. \u201cThere is this physical occupation structure that increases as you get closer to the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Texas has the most border with Mexico, but the least wall mileage as the border is formed by the Rio Grande and land on the Texas side is mostly privately owned. Border wall construction has been more common on federally owned land not because these are busy migrant crossings but because building on private property is extremely difficult. During the Trump administration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/363611576_The_Border_Wall_in_Arizona_and_New_Mexico-_July_2021\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">263 miles <\/a>of pedestrian fencing and border wall were built in mostly rural New Mexico and Arizona. Today more than 60% of the Arizona border has been walled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cIn those really remote rugged areas, whether it was the mountains in Arizona, et cetera, there was no indication that people were attempting to cross the border, at least by any numbers,\u201d said Gil Kerlikowske, a former commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. \u201cSo why try and put up any type of border wall in a place where you really do not need it?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"055c66da-287e-4dd7-9c1c-74efab731a86\" data-spacefinder-role=\"supporting\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-a2pvoh\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-16a696t\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Birds flying over US-Mexico border.<\/span> Photograph: Thalia Juarez\/The Guardian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2021\/jan\/16\/my-neighbourhood-is-being-destroyed-to-pacify-his-supporters-the-race-to-complete-trumps-wall\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">When I visited <\/a>the Arizona border in the waning days of Trump\u2019s first term, construction crews were busy dynamiting hilltops and grading up mountainsides to complete disconnected sections of border walls in some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcn.org\/articles\/borderlands-border-wall-construction-and-environmental-destruction-in-a-remote-arizona-canyon\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">most remote and impassable parts of the border.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Burns, of Sky Island Alliance Program, fears construction in these areas could resume as the federal laws to construct the barrier remain waived. \u201cThere are construction plans for the places where the wall had been canceled,\u201d said Burns. \u201cIt seems very possible that old projects will just be dusted off and reactivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Kerlikowske is less sure. \u201cTom [Homan] made it clear that he wanted to focus on the border more or less as the borders are,\u201d he said of Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/11\/tom-homan-donald-trump-border-czar-immigration\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">incoming \u201cborder czar\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cWhat\u2019s really troubling is that the sections of the border that they did not wall off in Arizona and New Mexico are some of the most sensitive places and important wildlife corridors for species like black bear, jaguar and other mammals,\u201c said Myles Traphagen, Borderlands Program Coordinator for the Wildlands Network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">That closure of unwalled sections would be a death knell for the elusive jaguar, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/feb\/06\/photographs-wild-jaguars-return-us-aoe?trk=public_post_comment-text\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">reappeared<\/a> in the US after being hunted to extinction in the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cMore [wall] would definitely cut off jaguars from crossing into the US in the last corridors it has from Sonora to Arizona,\u201d said Burns. \u201cWhen these animals move it is a lifeline for populations on the brink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Border construction is a bipartisan endeavor. The Obama administration built more than 100 miles of new border wall. Biden resumed construction in 2023 after attempts to redirect money appropriated for the wall in 2019 failed \u201cThe money was appropriated for the border wall,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI can\u2019t stop that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">According to a CBP spokesperson, since 2021, the agency has prioritized barrier funding to close gaps and complete gates along the southern border. Of the 163 gap closures and gate projects approved since 2021, 119 have been completed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Approximately 57 miles of new border barrier gap closures are planned. These projects are still in the environmental planning process and are estimated to start in early 2025 according to CBP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Border barriers are deadly for wildlife and for people.
