Here in El Paso a new group is forming to help come up with a plan to create a binational conservation corridor along the US Mexico border.
Ever since the first sections of the border wall were constructed during the Clinton Administration many wildlife species that cross our international border with Mexico have been affected, species like endangered Mexican wolves, jaguars and pronghorn. Retired Army infantry officer Jon Rezendes is leading the new conservation effort and recently posted more information online on how rewilding the wall can happen. If you would like to learn more and get involved contact us online and we will put you in touch with the group. Below this Sierra Club video clip you will find a gallery of some of the species impacted by the border wall.
