Trump's Border Wall Threatens to Destroy a Desert Oasis and Its Fragile Ecosystem In Arizona's Sonoran desert, Quitobaquito Springs, or A'al Vaipia as it is known to its indigenous guardians, has been revered by the O'odham people for millennia.
This tiny oasis in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is home to two unique species: the Sonoyta pupfish and springsnails. The pond provides a vital source of water for countless creatures and humans alike.
However, this sanctuary is now under threat from the Trump administration's decision to build a 30ft tall border wall.
