Openings for wildlife will be installed in areas of U.S.-Mexico border wall

"Openings intended for wildlife will be put into portions of the U.S.-Mexico border wall — including sections in Arizona — under terms of a settlement in a 4-year-old lawsuit over how the Trump administration paid for new construction.

The deal filed in federal court spells out that there will be a passage of 5 feet by 7 feet in the Perilla Mountains corridor in Cochise County to accommodate jaguars and black bears.

And the Sonoran pronghorn will get to go through an opening no shorter than 18 feet to be put in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Pima County."

Honestly, this seems like just about the best solution we could have hoped for. It seems that placement, size, and design of these openings is actually considering wildlife use. I'm really happy to see this.
