Bulldozing Butterflies: National Butterfly Center vs. Border Wall
The National Butterfly Center (https://nationalbutterflycenter.org) will be cut in half if a proposed section of border wall is built through its property. Executive Director Marianna Treviño-Wright explains how the wall would be an ecological disaster for not only the center, but the entire Rio Grande ecosystem -- from habitat destruction to flooding risks. Marianna also opposes the wall as unlawful seizure of private land, an immoral symbol of bigotry, and an ineffective boondoggle with no national security purpose, but we focused here on her unique perspective on the environmental consequences of walling off American access to the Rio Grande.

Many thanks to the National Butterfly Center's staff, particularly to Marianna for taking the time for this interview, Frances Madeson for setting up the interview, Luciano Guerra for the fantastic photos and videos of butterflies, birds, bobcats and the Rio Grande, and photographer Thomas Slanker who helped with the audio recording of the interview.
