The feds settled lawsuits that accused the Trump administration of illegally using certain funding, including military money, to build new U.S.-Mexico border wall
, citing concerns about dangerous wildfires and contributions to climate change.The Nature Conservancy, a global nonprofit group dedicated to fighting climate change by protecting natural habitats, is working toward purchasing and preserving the land instead of developing it, Cara Lacey, the director of wildlife corridors and crossings for The Nature Conservancy California, told the Union-Tribune on Monday.
“We’re really confident that we’re getting there,” Lacey said, adding that the $25 million secured in the border wall settlement is “really exciting ... and increases our confidence.” “There was going to be a development that would have obstructed movement to points both north and south, so this is a big step in maintaining the connectivity of the ecosystem,” Silver said.
Speaking to the bigger picture of the border wall settlements and the construction along the border, Silver said that “to some extent, the damage is done, and you don’t have the ability to go back to the way it was before.” But he praised the settlement “for delivering really meaningful benefits to conservation in San Diego.”
