This is it--the abomination that is fragmenting critical habitat in this rich biological
region. All species will be harmed by this fragmentation as well as the destruction of habitat which is becoming in short supply as human development devours more and more natural lands in the area every day. Though most birds can fly over, species like turtles cannot. It is also believed that the wall will be a barrier for essential connectivity of habitat for endangered ocelot and jaguarundi.
Though the fence was alleged to only destroy a 60 foot path, as can be seen in the top two pics a much wider swath is damaged by the heavy equipment. Though parts of the border fence are adjacent to agricultural areas, even farm areas are often bordered by natural areas. The bottom pic shows some of the forested natural area that now lies on the south side of the border wall being built next to farm lands here. The fragmenting and destroying of this vital habitat is shameful. SeEtta
