US border wall cuts through wildlife refuge
At the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, the U.S. border wall with Mexico runs through a critical habitat for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds and butterflies, as well as endangered species. Following a lawsuit challenging the controversial construction work, a section of the wall remains unfinished for the time being.
