BBPA is a conservation education and research organization. Gifts support the programs below. We do not publish a breakdown of program spending until our first annual return is filed; when it is, it will appear in the public records linked above.
Research and the public source library
We maintain a free, public library of independently verifiable citations — government records, federal audits, legal filings, and agency data — so that anyone can check our claims for themselves.
See the sources→Public-records and contractor accountability work
Following the money and the paperwork behind proposed construction in the Big Bend region, and publishing what the record actually shows.
Read the record→Bilingual education and community outreach
Educational materials in English and Spanish, produced with our coalition partners, explaining how border infrastructure affects the environment and how communities can lawfully take part in environmental review.
Get involved→Field and aerial documentation
Photography, video, and environmental monitoring across the region so people can see the landscape at stake rather than take our word for it.
See the impact→The 24/7 hotline and the SOS alert network
A round-the-clock line for campaign updates and messages, plus a volunteer-reviewed community alert system for landowners and residents facing urgent wall-related issues.
About SOS→Research tools for journalists
Verified data, fact sheets, and searchable records made available to reporters and researchers covering the story.
Press room→BBPA does not endorse or oppose political candidates. We provide nonpartisan educational information and encourage lawful public participation in environmental review processes.
