The Biden administration plans to waive 26 environmental laws for new border wall construction in Texas. This threatens fragile habitats near a national wildlife refuge, cutting off wildlife like cougars and bobcats from the Rio Grande, and potentially destroying endangered plants crucial for monarch butterflies. The Center for Biological Diversity actively opposes these plans.
As a 501c3 nonprofit, the Center for Biological Diversity works to protect species and their habitats through science and law, believing human welfare is linked to nature's diversity. Learn more about their fight against the wall in this article: What Happens When You Wall Off a River.
