Miles Traphagan

Dr. Ganesh Marin, a wildlife biologist, studies jaguar movement across the U.S.–Mexico border, while Miles Traphagan works on habitat connectivity. They dive into the historical significance of jaguars in Arizona and the hurdles they face, particularly the imposing 30-foot border wall. The conversation covers how this barrier disrupts migration and species territories, while highlighting efforts for larger wildlife openings. Together, they explore the intertwining fates of humans and animals amid fragmented habitats, making a compelling case for collaborative conservation efforts.
