Newly built border wall segment further endangers rare desert fish, conservation organization says

Days before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office for a second term, a conservation organization says a newly-built section of border wall harms an endangered fish.

The "rare desert fish" is a "small, moderately chubby fish that feasts on a variety of native food sources and has a unique and distinctly red coloration on the underside when in breeding condition," the organization says.

"The new wall and road will push these imperiled fish to the brink of extinction," Krista Kemppinen, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity, said in a statement.
