Environmental damage from border wall: blown-up mountains, toppled cactus

GUADALUPE CANYON, Ariz.    Work crews ignite dynamite blasts in the remote and rugged southeastern corner of Arizona, forever reshaping the landscape as they pulverize mountaintops in a rush to build more of President Trump’s border wall before his term ends next month. Each blast in Guadalupe Canyon releases puffs of dust as workers level land to make way for 30-foot-tall steel columns near the New Mexico line. Heavy machines crawl over roads gouged into rocky slopes while one tap-tap-taps open holes for posts on U.S. Bureau of Land Management property. Trump has expedited border wall construction in his last year in office, mostly in wildlife refuges and Indigenous territory the government owns in Arizona and New Mexico, avoiding the legal fights over private land in busier crossing areas of Texas. The work has caused environmental damage, preventing animals from moving freely and scarring unique mountain and desert landscapes that conservationists fear could be irreversibl
