NACO, Ariz. — Banners and supporters of a wildlife corridor greeted John Davis when he reached the U.S.-Mexico border at Naco, last week.

Davis crossed at a walled wildlife pathway and was met by 40 supporters of wildlife corridors from both countries, carrying a 200-foot-long social and environmental art project featuring jaguar and other art.

The parade to the border wall through Naco was followed by a traditional blessing ceremony by Yaqui tribal members. Some supporters wore jaguar masks and attempted to climb the wall to show the difficulty animals experience when trying to migrate through the barriers of the borderlands.

... Davis plans to continuously hike, bike and paddle the remainder of that stretch over the next nine months.
