[Music] This wildlife refuge was established for the protection of native fishes. Eight species of native Rio Yaki fishes. [Music] The jaguar occurs in the Rio Yaki down all of these drainages.

We put these cameras out here because there were reports from refuge personnel that they were seeing a lot of wildlife moving through the refuge.

I checked this camera now and there was one skunk out of 1641 pictures. The wall is not even completed, and we're already seeing a pretty pronounced effect. Yeah, this is personal. I wake up at 4 AM with images of this border wall that are just burned into my head. It's going to be that feeling like when somebody you love has died.
