The removal of Earth's vital soil cover carries significant implications, according to soil expert Diana Donlon.

These far-reaching consequences impact critical areas such as carbon sequestration, water security, and food production. Protecting our soil is therefore essential for environmental stability and human well-being.

Border-wall construction is threatening the movement corridor for jaguars and other wildlife along the U.S.-Mexico border. Recent remote camera footage has captured Cinco, a male jaguar first

Border-wall construction is threatening the movement corridor for jaguars and other wildlife along the U.S.-Mexico border. Recent remote camera footage has captured Cinco, a male jaguar first documented in late 2025 by University of Arizona researchers after crossing from Mexico. Russ McSpadden from the Center for Biological Diversity emphasizes that each sighting of Cinco highlights the urgent need for jaguars to move freely between the two countries, as the border wall poses a significant threat to their survival in Arizona.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit based in Tucson, Arizona, advocates for the protection of diverse species and their habitats. They aim to ensure a future where wildlife thrives, using science, law, and creative media. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org.

The pandemic highlighted humanity's need to address future global crises like climate change and biodiversity loss, which lack simple solutions. Romain Troublé, Executive Director of the Tara Ocean Foundation since 2009, has dedicated his career to understanding our planet.

Troublé's extensive experience includes organizing polar missions (2003-2006) and managing the Tara schooner expeditions since 2004. The Foundation has led 12 expeditions, significantly advancing ocean knowledge through studies on marine plankton, micro-plastic pollution, coral reefs, and the oceanic microbiome.

The Trump administration plans to construct a 30-foot steel border wall through the rugged Huachuca Mountains, specifically at the terminus of the 800-mile federally protected Arizona Trail. This barrier threatens to disrupt the natural habitat of migrating jaguars and ocelots.

Such a wall would also permanently alter the experience for thousands of hikers who utilize the Arizona Trail. Matthew Nelson of the Arizona Trail Association has detailed the significant environmental and recreational consequences of this proposed construction.

Trump's border wall construction is desecrating indigenous lands. To expedite building, federal authorities have waived numerous laws, including the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the Endangered Species Act.

Hia-Ced O’odham activist Nellie Jo David highlights the profound impact on the O’odham people. The new wall in southern Arizona affects communities on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, threatening their cultural heritage and sacred sites.

Quitobaquito pupfish, an ancient species on Earth for 1.6 million years, now survive only in Quitobaquito Spring within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, near the U.S.-Mexico border. These tiny, tenacious fish endure extreme temperatures and high salt levels, with males turning vibrant blue when defending territory or seeking a mate.

However, new border wall construction in Organ Pipe threatens this unique habitat. The Border Patrol is pumping thousands of gallons daily for concrete, heedlessly draining this precious desert waterway. With construction teams now just miles from Quitobaquito Spring, this essential water source and its endangered pupfish face imminent danger.

In the latest Border Views video, the Center's Laiken Jordahl explores Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. This vital national monument faces an imminent threat.

It is poised to become one of the first wild places permanently scarred by the Trump administration's border wall. We must act to prevent its construction and protect this irreplaceable natural area.
