Trump is destroying Organ Pipe National Monument
Truckload after truckload of massive metal bollards are being hauled into Organ Pipe to build Trump’s wall.
The barrier will stop migrating wildlife in their tracks, severing this UNESCO biosphere reserve from all habitat south of the border.

ALERT: DHS contractors spotted drilling well just 8 miles from Organ Pipe’s Quitobaquito spring. This well taps the La Abra aquifer — the same source that feeds Quitobaquito and the endangered species that depend on it.

“This is exactly how you cause extinction. You fragment habitat and populations into smaller and smaller sizes, their genetic diversity decreases, they become more vulnerable to disease and inbreeding, and they wink out.” – @LaikenJordahl https://t.co/zOk5Px12yV
