Wildlife biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of animal species, plants, and other organisms in their natural habitats. It encompasses the diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting life on Earth.

Key threats to wildlife biodiversity include habitat destruction from mining, offshore drilling, and large-scale development projects, as well as practices like trophy hunting and poaching. Pollution and waste disposal into waterways also pose significant risks to both terrestrial and marine species, impacting ecosystem health globally.

I have worked along the river corridor spending weeks of my life camped along the Texas/Mexico border through bbnp and bbrp. It is safe and a border wall in unnecessary. Putting a physicql wall in one of the truly last wild places in Texas and the lower 48 would be despicable. Not to mention creating a barrier for the incredible amount of wildlife using the area to migrate.
Se me hace triste saber que queremos abusar mas de la naturaleza como lo hemos estado haciendo, cuantos animales vimos por última vez... por que de la noche a la mañana nos damos cuenta que ya no existen, que ya están en extinción y todo por un solo gusto que los turistas quieren ver, hay que cambiar y pensar en nuestro futuro, no quieren mostrarle a las nuevas generaciones lo hermosa que es la naturaleza, lo que oculta o su funcionalidad, que la única amenaza somos nosotros, hay que preservar nuestra flora y fauna tan hermosa que tenemos o amenos la que nos queda...
No estoy de acuerdo con el proyecto de Mahahual, porque me duele pensar en los animales que sufrirían las consecuencias. Ellos no tienen voz para defenderse, y aun así son los más afectados. Su hogar, su tranquilidad y su vida estarían en riesgo solo por intereses humanos. No es justo que paguen ellos el precio.
Have we learned nothing? The PFAS debacle is most recent ‘discovery’ Michiganders have had to deal with. STOP MESSING with our water! We have had so many catastrophic human disasters here. PBB in the 70’s. Generations of discharging factories waste into rivers. PFAS/PFOA in our ground water. NO MORE. STOP. Please for all that is Holy to you, stop. Because our fresh water is Holy to all of us.
There is zero risk involved in denying this permit to mine. There are many risks associated environmental contamination involved with approving this permit. Please protect our natural resources.
This project stands to do more economic harm than good to the region by diminishing our renewable and everlasting resource of wild. The mine would come and go after less than a generation leaving hundreds or thousands of years of environmental degradation than will make it harder for many generations in te region. Not a forward thinking positive use of public lands.
I live in Spokane where silver mines in Idaho have affected the Spokane River. It has contaminated our fish with an excess amount of mercury, and it has been determined that you can only eat one fish a month out of the river. Stop letting these companies ruin our environment, especially while asking for $50 million of taxpayer money. Reinvest that money in children and schools in low-income communities.
