Border Wall Restoration Site Reports

Beginning on January 21, 2021—the day that President Biden took office and halted construction of the southern border wall—Wildlands Network began to map the construction on the border in Arizona and New Mexico in fine detail to assess the damage and determine how much wall was actually built. An incredible amount of damage has been inflicted upon our nation's parks, monuments, national forests, wilderness areas and wildlife refuges. Large portions of the border remain impassable to all but the smallest creatures.

Through our research and mapping efforts, Wildlands Network has identified areas whose restoration should be prioritized both for the health of the land and the wildlife that call the region home.
