MBCA joined a strong plea to California officials initiated by the Endangered Habitats League to take action concerning expansion of the Border Wall along California’s southern border with Mexico that will further damage wildlife in both countries. The letter importantly references the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding between federal and California agencies and several Mexican non-profits regarding the habitat conservation of the area around Tecate Peak which is among several locations scheduled for a new wall. In support of the request is a list of specific construction recommendations by the Wildlands Network that would provide cross-border access to small and mid-sized species including mule deer, mountain lions, and (especially) Peninsular bighorn sheep. (See page 2 of the Network's letter for a map of affected areas.)
