*[Enwl-eng] Wildlife need safe travel corridors along the U.S.-Mexico border

[enwl]

                        Animals pace back and forth at the border wall for 
hours, struggling to find a way forward.









                        Trump's Border Wall Is Disorienting Animals and 
Destroying the Environment. Biden Must Help Wildlife Now.

                        When Donald Trump's administration began 
construction on their infamous and unnecessary border wall along the U.S.'s 
southern edge, wildlife conservationists were worried. They knew this would 
hurt animals and the fragile, important habitats in that region. In fact, 
scientists are now warning of possible "ecocide" if the U.S. and Mexican 
governments do not quickly establish corridors for wildlife to freely roam 
between the borders. What they mean is that, this ecosystem is so delicate, 
it could collapse if the situation does not improve. Yet sadly, U.S. 
President Biden and Mexican President López Obrador still haven't done 
enough to reduce the negative impacts of Trump's disastrous wall.



                        Without wildlife corridors, animals are left cut off 
from important breeding and grazing grounds, as well as their seasonal 
migration routes. Thousands of animals use these land paths to find the 
mates and nutrients their species depend on. Confused, lost, and 
disoriented, they have no way of meeting their survival needs. Cameras that 
conservationists have installed show bears, boars, deer, mountain lions, 
bighorn sheep, a type of raccoon called coatimundis, and more trying to roam 
freely as they once did -- only to come across the insurmountable wall 
obstacle in their paths. One heartbreaking video shows a family of wild 
boars that was so desperate to find water on the other side, they searched 
for a full five hours to find a way around the wall.



                        On top of that, Trump's wall construction destroyed 
landscapes and ecosystems that wildlife depend on. From blasting 
mountaintops, to chopping down the foliage that animals feed and live on, 
construction has meant decimating whole habitats. But the Earth and wildlife 
shouldn't have to pay the price for humans' decisions to erect land 
barriers. These are animals' lands and homes, too. It's imperative that 
President Joe Biden's administration work together with President Andrés 
Manuel López Obrador to protect wildlife. Sign the petition to urge 
Presidents Biden and López Obrador to create wildlife corridors along the 
U.S.-Mexico border!

and arbitrary walls erected on their grazing and migratory lands. Sign the 
petition.
