Continental Divide: Borderlands, Wildlife, People and the WALL
In January 2009, the International League of Conservation Photographers sent a team of world-renowned photographers, writers, filmmakers and scientists to the U.S./Mexico borderlands to document the ecological and human impacts of the border wall. This exhibit is a compelling illustration of what they discovered on our own southern frontier, in one of the most imperiled landscapes on the continent.
