Days before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office for a second term, a conservation organization says a newly-built section of border wall harms an endangered fish.
A newly built segment of border wall in southern Arizona will keep out more than just illegal immigrants, a nonprofit conservation organization says. The border wall segment and a 'paved road across Arizona's California Gulch is blocking streamflow critical to the survival of one of only two U.S. populations of Sonora chub,' a press release from the Center for Biological Diversity reads.
Designating California Gulch as critical habitat is more urgent than ever to minimize other threats, such as by keeping cows out of the Sonora chub’s pools,' Kemppinen said in the statement. 'It’s also imperative that carefully designed culverts be added to the new border infrastructure to allow at least some semblance of a natural streamflow and migration. If federal officials are serious about saving this fish, they need to act now.
