Trump’s second border wall could wipe out three species found nowhere else but Quitobaquito
Trump’s proposed second border wall near Quitobaquito Springs threatens three endangered species found nowhere else: the Sonoyta pupfish, Sonoyta Mud Turtle, and Quitobaquito springsnail. Conservationists warn the construction could destroy the species’ last natural habitat, with recent damage to a geoglyph in Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge raising concerns.
