The Sonoran pronghorn as one of the 10 species at greatest risk of extinction due to habitat destruction and climate change.There are only about 500 surviving Sonoran pronghorn, roughly 100 of those live in the United States. They were listed as an endangered species in 1967.
President Bill Clinton in 2001, he designated more than 487,000 acres as the Sonoran Desert National Monument.The Bureau of Land Management, charged with maintaining this national monument, has allowed grazing to degrade it, as well as illegal off-roaders with motorcycles, jeeps, and all-terrain vehicles contributed to erosion and disturbed both plant and animal populations. Vegetation has been devastated, with some sections denuded of grasses and annual plants — leading to massive erosion from which some fragile areas may never recover. the loss of this habitat will adversely effect not only the the endangered Sonoran pronghorn but also the mule deer, javelina, and bobcat, as well as imperiled species like the gray fox, mountain lion, and desert bighorn sheep,long-nosed bat.and more than 200 species of birds. Trumps wall threatens all these species.
