Locals are trying to stop a project in Big Bend National Park. The project involves adding security measures along the border. Rules that protect the environment and wildlife are being waived for this project.

A company has a contract to build roads and other security features. The project is moving forward despite opposition. It is expected to be partially completed by next year.

Further details about the project and its impact are available from local sources, including videos recorded by photographers and advocates showing the start of construction.
