Over 2,500 scientists have banded together to warn that President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall between the United States and Mexico could harm wildlife.

In a paper published Tuesday, the group of scientists listed their concerns about the potential wall. The BioScience paper asked for other scientists to join in on the warning about the risk to wildlife and habitats in North America, citing multiple issues with the plan for the border. Of the scientists on the paper, 1,472 were from the United States and 616 were from Mexico. Overall, 43 countries were represented. This paper comes on the heels of the Trump administration’s new changes to the Endangered Species Act that were announced last week.
