The Center’s Laiken Jordahl joined NPR’s Studio 1A today to discuss the looming threat of a border wall through Big Bend National Park, where DHS just issued the largest wall construction contract in American history. A wall through Big Bend would turn this remote park into an industrial construction zone, sever wildlife from their only dependable source of drinking water, and lock the public out of one of the wildest rivers in the American West, effectively ending river recreation and whitewater boating on the Rio Grande. We've been on the front lines with local communities fighting this from the start. Last month we sued DHS to stop wall construction in the Big Bend region. We won’t let up until Big Bend is permanently protected. Share this video to raise awareness and support our ongoing fight to protect our public lands.
