What about #Animal?

Wildlife are not interested in political boundaries. Jaguar in Sonora don't carry passports, and a tufted duck quacks with the same accent whether in Ceuta or the “Forêt de Jbel Moussa”. Walls and barriers, however, impact wildlife tremendously.  Reindeer in the former Czechoslovakia don't cross the Iron Curtain, even though that barrier has been gone for 25 years and none of the reindeer living today ever experienced it.  652 miles of barriers and walls between the U.S. and Mexico destroy and fragment wildlife habitat, blocking migration corridors that are key to the survival of many species.  A camera trap study in Arizona wildlife refuges and natural areas found that #animals such as puma and coati are blocked by border walls, while humans are not.
