BREAKING: DHS just awarded the largest border-wall contract in U.S. history—$1.7 billion—and it's for Big Bend National Park. The contract itself says it's for "border wall" segment BBT-4 in the national park. This raises alarm bells after CBP commissioner said only roads would be built in the park.
Nobody gets paid $1.7 billion to build a road.

Honored to be quoted in today’s @kjzzphoenix story highlighting how urban growth in Phoenix is increasing encounters between people and wildlife. Navigating these complex interactions with our wild neighbors is essential as our city continues to expand.

A new study shows that the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico is a significant barrier to wildlife movement. Researchers monitored animals along the border for two years capturing new data that shows how wildlife avoid border infrastructure.

Yesterday, there were hundreds if not thousands of brown pelicans feeding on bait fish in the Klamath River estuary and plume. Less than 1 year after the removal of 4 dams, this is another sign the river is healing .

Walling off remaining wild corridors along the US-Mexico border would close the last vestiges of migration territory for threatened or endangered animals, including jaguars, ocelots, and Mexican gray wolves, pushing vulnerable species closer to extinction. ow.ly/sClm50VJmQJ

For a species already hanging by a thread, even short delays matter. Red wolves face ecological pressures and now administrative uncertainty. Without wild releases, road protections and legal safeguards, one of America’s distinctive carnivores could vanish ow.ly/glVN50VEhS3

80% of bees in the US have not died.
Colony losses in commercial bee farms, typically ~50%, are ~80% this year.
Honeybee farms hit records highs 2024.
You should be more concerned about long-term collapse in native pollinators, *driven in part* by farming non-native honeybees.
It’s a privilege and an honor to collaborate with wildlife organizations as part of my professional arts practice. Listen below 👇🏻 to a brief summary of Mexican Wolves in my work for #LoboWeek #VoicesForLobos
Happy #LoboWeek to all those who celebrate. 🐺
