Keep Parks Public: Arizona's Public Lands and the Border Wall

This event is part of the Center for Western Priorities' Keep Parks Public campaign. We'll be discussing the impacts of border wall construction on wildlife corridors and Indigenous sites, along with staffing and funding cuts at land management agencies and rollbacks of environmental protections, from Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge to Quitobaquito Springs.

We've brought together an expert panel to discuss these issues, including Matthew Nelson with the Arizona Trail Association, Russ McSpadden with the Center for Biological Diversity, and Emily Burns with Sky Island Alliance! Aaron Weiss, Executive Director for the Center for Western Priorities and host of The Landscape podcast, will moderate the discussion. We will also be joined by a representative of the Tohono O'odham Nation.

After the panel, you'll have the chance to visit with representatives from these groups to learn more about fighting back against attacks on our public lands.
