COME FOR THE QUINO CHECKERSPOT CATEPILLAR NACHOS,
         STAY FOR  THE  FERRUGINOUS  PYGMY  OWL  MOLE'

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 
REPORTS ON THE THREAT TO PRECOLUMBIAN CUISINE
POSED BY OUR FIRST TACO BOWL PRESIDENT

I am astounded and outraged... I am not alone. Earlier this year, my colleagues at Defenders of Wildlife and I led more than 2,500 scientists from around the world in declaring consensus ...  In an exceptional moment of unity, we scientists agree with the irrefutable evidence that the border wall is a rampant ecological disaster...


It’s a wake-up call that... the endangered Quino checkerspot butterfly and the threatened and endangered ferruginous pygmy-owl... will not be recognized, assessed or addressed ... adding to the 10 million species marching towards extinction... alongside the identity of millions of people along the border, for reprehensible campaign promises and political theatrics that will only further divide us.
