Hi all – I am forwarding along this terribly tragic picture and social media content from a colleague at CBD.  I hope folks will help amplify and jump in to work on opposing the border wall if your organization is not already doing so.  Best, Mary Beth

Subject: [bordercoalition] Mule deer kill at Organ Pipe

 

Sharing a heartbreaking photo of a mule deer found dead yesterday in the shadow of the wall at Organ Pipe. Tweet to amplify here: https://twitter.com/LaikenJordahl/status/1295405225264779264?s=20.

 

 

A bit more info: the buck was found near Dos Lomitas, east of the Lukeville POE. This is an area where deer often cross south into Mexico during the hottest months of the year to access water and forage in the alfalfa fields east of Sonoyta, Sonora. This was likely a vehicle strike, as the deer wandered back and forth along the wall looking for a way to cross. A number of deer have been spotted in this same area this week. I’m sure an untold number of wildlife have met a similar fate.
