Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
O artigo aborda como o muro fronteiriço entre EUA e México, no sul do Texas, está pressionando refúgios naturais como o Santuário Sabal Palm, uma reserva que abriga mais de 400 espécies de aves. A barreira de aço de cinco metros de altura, combinada com a presença constante da patrulha de fronteira e o desenvolvimento industrial (incluindo lançamentos de foguetes da SpaceX na vizinha Boca Chica), ameaça o ecossistema local e a migração de aves. O texto explora o conflito entre segurança nacional e conservação ambiental na região fronteiriça.

· 3 pulledPara chegar ao Santuário Sabal Palm, um parque no sul do Texas famoso pelas aves silvestres, é preciso atravessar por uma estradinha o muro da fronteira com o México.
Com pouco mais de cinco metros de altura, o muro é feito de barras de aço verticais, enfileiradas a perder de vista.
Apesar do muro, o parque ainda está em território americano.
