This book examines the convergence of conservation and security
efforts along the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. The author
presents a unique analysis of the history of Cabeza Prieta National
Wildlife Refuge, a federally protected border wilderness area.
Beginning in the early 1990s, changes to U.S. immigration policy
dramatically altered the political and natural landscape in and
around Cabeza Prieta. In particular, the increasing presence of
Border Patrol has contributed to environmental degradation in
wilderness. Complicated human rights concerns are also explored in
the book. Protecting wildlife in an area with high rates of
undocumented border-crossing and smuggling results in complex and
sometimes controversial conservation policies. Ultimately, the
observations and analysis presented in this book illustrate ways in
which the politics of race and nationalism are subtly, but
significantly, interwoven into border environmental and security
policies.
