“The political resistance against gränsmuren has received considerable attention. But when byggfordon in January rolled out in the border area in south Texas, near the town of McAllen, it was mainly the ursprungsbefolkningsgrupper and the National Butterfly Center, which works to protect the butterflies, who protested, reports tv channel ABC.”
“– These bulldozers will roll into the Rio Grande valley’s naturvårdskorridor, destroying thousands of trees during the breeding season for hundreds of species of prey and songbirds, warned Marianna Wright, chairman of the National Butterfly Center, when she spoke before congress a few weeks before the start of construction.”

Construction could get underway quickly because the congress has given the department of homeland security permission to make exceptions from the environmental laws that protect threatened species, writes the magazine T he New York Times.”
“Devastating for the habitats’
“A mile is not very much of the total of 320-mile long border with Mexico as the president of the Trump to provide the with a wall. But the construction of which commenced on the Rio Grande can have destructive effects for the sensitive wildlife in the area, warn activists and researchers.”
“They are referring inter alia to the consequences that could have been detected along approximately 105 miles of the border that is already equipped with some form of wall or barrier where the ecosystem has been upset and floods has increased.”
“The scientific journal Bioscience published in the last year, an article that is over 2 900 scientists signed, in which it called the government’s plan.”
“– What they build so they will be devastating for the natural habitat, ” says Bob Dreyer, a lawyer and leader of the naturvårdsorganisationen Defenders of Wildlife to the magazine National Geographic.”
“In a review of the risks, highlights magazine, among other things, that a wall increases the erosion on a site where there are a large number of rare plants, several of them endangered. And the whole of the 346 species living on both sides of the border, they walk over it to find food and water and a mate.”

“the Direct funding of murbygget, however, has become a headache for the White house. In the budget negotiations in the fall, asked Trump $ 5.7 billion to build the great wall. The requirement failed to get through congress, which resulted in a were the closing down of parts of the state apparatus, during which 800 000 government employees dispatched on leave.”
