said Valer Clark, founder of the transfrontier wildlife organization Cuenca Los Ojos (CLO).<\/p>\n<p>Bears, mountain lions, deer, bighorn sheep and coatimundis are among the animals roaming the arid lands of southern Arizona and the northern Mexican state of Sonora, she told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>But camera trap photos and the conservationists&#8217; own observations have revealed deer, mountain lions and black bears pacing along the border wall, confused and unable to access their former ranges, according to the group.<\/p>\n<p>One family of boars spent five hours trying to get past the wall in search of water, said Jose Manuel Perez, CLO&#8217;s conservation director.<\/p>\n<p>Border lighting meanwhile deters nocturnal animals and can cause migratory birds that navigate by moonlight or starlight to lose their way, environmentalists warned.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-gallery js-article-gallery\">\n<li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/an-aerial-view-of-part.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2022\/an-aerial-view-of-part.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"An aerial view of part of the US-Mexico border wall between Arizona and Mexico's Sonora state.\">\n<figure class=\"article-img text-center\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800\/2022\/an-aerial-view-of-part.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of part of the US-Mexico border wall between Arizona and Mexico's Sonora state\"\/><figcaption class=\"text-left text-darken text-low-up text-truncate mt-3\">\n                    An aerial view of part of the US-Mexico border wall between Arizona and Mexico&#8217;s Sonora state.<br \/>\n                <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/an-image-released-by-t.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2022\/an-image-released-by-t.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"An image released by the Sky Island Alliance shows a mountain lion in the Patagonia Mountains of Arizona.\">\n<figure class=\"article-img text-center\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800\/2022\/an-image-released-by-t.jpg\" alt=\"An image released by the Sky Island Alliance shows a mountain lion in the Patagonia Mountains of Arizona\"\/><figcaption class=\"text-left text-darken text-low-up text-truncate mt-3\">\n                    An image released by the Sky Island Alliance shows a mountain lion in the Patagonia Mountains of Arizona.<br \/>\n                <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The wall was first erected by the United States in 1994 and underwent major reinforcements during Donald Trump&#8217;s 2017-2021 presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The barrier, which stretches across almost all of Arizona&#8217;s southern edge, &#8220;greatly affects&#8221; the migration of animals, Perez said.<\/p>\n<p>CLO is calling for the removal or modification of the parts of the border wall that cause the most harm to wildlife, and for the restoration of all cross-border rivers.<\/p>\n<p>It is more than 40 years since Clark moved to a cattle ranch in southwestern Arizona, where the New Yorker said she fell in love with the wide open spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Back then it was a totally different place, where people would cross the border easily to visit relatives, she recalled.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/conservationist-eamon.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2022\/conservationist-eamon.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"Conservationist Eamon Harrity walks near the US-Mexico border to collect images from a trap camera.\">\n<figure class=\"article-img text-center\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/800a\/2022\/conservationist-eamon.jpg\" alt=\"Conservationist Eamon Harrity walks near the US-Mexico border to collect images from a trap camera\" title=\"Conservationist Eamon Harrity walks near the US-Mexico border to collect images from a trap camera.\"\/><figcaption class=\"text-left text-darken text-truncate text-low-up mt-3\">\n                Conservationist Eamon Harrity walks near the US-Mexico border to collect images from a trap camera.<br \/>\n            <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The region may look barren, but in fact &#8220;it&#8217;s full of important wildlife and diversity,&#8221;
