ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - C - THE JAGUAR (Panthera onca)

[BorneanTiger]

A 2019 survey by the Center of Biological Diversity found the construction of Trump's wall to have a devastating impact on the ecosystem, with construction coming perilously close to the San Bernardino National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona, and an active migration corridor for the North American jaguar, as well as already damaging habitats in sites such as San Bernardino Slaughter Ranch. The survey also found unrestricted pumping of groundwater from local aquifers in order to produce concrete for the wall, which will have a destructive habitat on subterranean ecosystems as well as surface ones that are sustained by groundwater: https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/p...019-10-31/, https://www.azpm.org/p/home-articles-new...n-arizona/

On the positive side, the impeachment inquiry by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives against Trump has began, so let's see whether or not the #impeachtrump movement can save San Bernardino and the jaguars that migrate between Mexico and the USA: https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-ne...index.html
