Borderlands, Continental Divide produced by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology
2 years ago
In January 2009, the International League of Conservation Photographers sent a team of world-renowned photographers, with writers, filmmakers and scientists to the borderlands of the United States and Mexico to document the wildlife, ecology, and effect of immigration and the border wall on this landscape. The 17-member team spent almost a month traveling the nearly-2000-mile border and captured more than 10,000 images of the region and the impact of the wall. Since then, the images have been used in media outreach and in an exhibit that has been shown in the halls of Congress and around the country. The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of the peril that border infrastructure places on the long-term survival of myriad species that live in the borderlands. This area isĀ a shared conservation treasure of international importance that harbors some of the most biodiverse landscapes on the continent. Many species here are found nowhere else in the US, and nowhere else in Mexico and some are found nowhere else on Earth.

I have lived on the border all my life, this is the saddest event of my time here. It destroys the American myth of freedom! What are we becoming as "a nation under god?"
