The affect of border walls on wildlife.

The excellent, short film linked below, produced by Wildlands Network, clearly illustrates the harmful affect of border walls on wildlife.  This is not only happening on the U.S. border with Mexico, it's happening around the world.  One of the major issues highlighted here is how these border walls cut off essential wildlife migration in the age of climate change.

    I don't mean to be tooting my own horn here (silly of phrase innit? :lol: ), but I really hope some of you take a little time to check out the video.  If nothing else, it's a constructive way to take one's mind off of the stress many of us feel right now.   It talks about concern for, and the importance of wildlife migration.  Even if one favors the walls, the video talks about how there are ways for walls that do exist to allow egress of migrating animals. 

    Intrinsic within the issue of walls, of course, are political opinions.  Most of us have an opinion about the walls themselves, and I certainly do.  But this thread is more about concern for wildlife.  Maybe this would get more traction in AET.  I may be quite naive in thinking those of us who post of AMT are supporters of wildlife.

    So if you have no interest in this, at least perhaps let me know if you think posters who are more prone to visiting AET would have a greater interest in this.

    Thanks!
