On this episode of “Horizonte,” we discuss the impact of border security infrastructure on wildlife​, including in the San Rafael Valley in Arizona.

A study by Sky Island Alliance, a Tucson-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting ecological diversity, estimates that replacing existing vehicle barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border with a wall would reduce wildlife crossings by 86%.
