The U.S.-Mexico borderlands in Santa Cruz County are home to a wide range of wildlife, and a new study has counted nearly 100 different species in the local area that the researchers say are âunder imminent threatâ from the construction of new walls along the U.S-Mexico border.
The Tucson-based Sky Island Alliance and Sonora-based Naturalia A.C. placed dozens of trail cameras in six areas along the border between the Patagonia Mountains and the Huachuca Mountains earlier this year, according to a news release from SIA. After six months, the cameras had snapped millions of photos and detected 12,000 wildlife sightings in the sky island region.
