AJO, Arizona -- The protected Saguaro Cactus in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument are being ripped from the life-sustaining earth for a border wall that is the symbol of death.
It takes Saguaro 50 to 100 years to grow an arm. Saguaro are found nowhere else in the world but here.
Ecocide is the extensive damage to and destruction of or loss of an ecosystem.
Life on the border is dying. All laws protecting endangered species, the water, land, and air, and Native sacred places have been eliminated to build the border wall here in the pristine Sonoran Desert. The endangered pupfish, burrowing owls, Bighorn sheep and Saguaros have no one to speak for them.

The voice of the desert is dying.
