Today, the Sierra Club along with its Lone Star Chapter and the National Parks Conservation Association filed an amicus brief supporting the Center for Biological Diversity’s lawsuit to stop construction of a border barrier and related infrastructure in and around Big Bend National Park.

Both organizations are represented by Earthjustice.

Big Bend National Park protects one of the world’s most biologically rich and diverse desert ecosystems, where the Rio Grande serves as a lifeline for fish, wildlife, and riverside habitat while supporting recreation, tourism, and the health and well-being of nearby communities. The protections that Congress gave the Rio Grande have been in place for nearly half a century. According to UNESCO, the park is home to more “types of birds, bats, butterflies, ants, and scorpions than any other national park in the United States.”

The groups’ filing urges the court to halt border project construction before bulldozing, roads, barriers, and related infrastructure cause irreversible harm to this nationally treasured landscape.
