Can't they just keep small gaps in the wall along wildlife corridors with manned watch-towers on both sides? That'd be enough.

Arizona has some decent protected areas near the border. Other than that they could artificially introduce jaguars to Big Bend complex on both sides... But neither party seems to have any interest in that.

The Trump Wall is just going to end jaguars in the USA, but it won't affect any damage to jaguars in northern Mexico. However, Mexican government allowing ranchers to shoot jaguars if they attack livestock. This problem will never going to mention by journalists since the Trump Wall is definitely the most hot topic. The Trump Wall is mainly about Latino refugees from the Central America and Mexico by journalists along with animals of the Arizona.

US media can be expected to cover their issues much more extensively. But i do think this Jaguar-corridor problem is very easily solvable, if they actually want to. Reply
