Mexican studio Colectivo C733 has created an 18-kilometre-long limestone wall that allows wildlife to pass through while protecting more than 1,000 hectares of forest at Parque del Jaguar in Tulum, Mexico. The project aims to safeguard one of the region’s important habitats for jaguars, whose movement through the landscape had become disrupted by roads, development and tourism.
