Wildlife Habitat Endangered by Border Fence

Check out today's Arizona Daily Star for an article about the affect of the border fence on wildlife. There is a depressing picture of a Javelina family turning back from the fence. I hope they weren't separated from their pack! I've mentioned in earlier posts my concern about the border fence's impact, especially on the jaguar. Defenders of Wildlife has been pointing out this issue for awhile. In particular, they say that the concerns "include fragmentation of habitat; increase of wildlife disturbance by motorized vehicles that now have more access; and severing of migration and dispersal corridors for animals such as the jaguar, ocelot, black bear, cougar and coatimundi, all species that require large amounts of habitat."
