Migration is essential to survival for many species, from salmon to jaguars to humans. But as border walls multiply around the world, the routes that animals have traveled for millennia are being severed.
In this essay, writer Syris Valentine travels to the San Rafael Valley in Arizona (one of the last jaguar corridors in the US) to report on what border wall construction is doing to wildlife, and what that reveals about our own assumptions around borders, movement, and who has the right to migrate.
