Bulldozers Tear Through Big Bend National Park for Border Wall

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This bulldozing shreds a national park for a wall that won't stop a determined squirrel.
💡 Why it matters
The construction threatens a UNESCO-recognized ecosystem and could set a precedent for infrastructure in protected lands.

Bulldozers have begun clearing ground at Big Bend National Park's Santa Elena Canyon for the Trump administration's 'smart wall' expansion. Activists captured footage of heavy machinery operating in the Texas park, sparking outcry over environmental damage.
