Maya Railway Restoration for Environmental Damage Mexico promises

Mexico’s Ministry of Environment (SEMERNAT) has announced the damaged environmental system for the damaged environmental organization, which acknowledged that the construction of the Maya train caused environmental harm.

Environment Minister Alicia Persena said on Wednesday that he was preparing a plan to address environmental damage and is seeking to demand the input of local communities.

We had a useful conversation among different media headers and journalists in the president’s environmental and environmental policy @Claudiashein. Thank you for your interest! His task is essential to inform the actions we encourage.

The Maya train stretches 1,554 kilometers (966 miles) and connects the cities and rural areas of the Ukadan Peninsula. The $ 30 billion mega project is the main center of the administration of former President Andrez Manuel Lopez Oprader. Construction began on June 2020 and partial activities started on December 2023.

Persena outlined some of the problems aimed at repairing the rehabilitation program, including issues relating to native animals.

He said that some mesh nets placed with tracks would be removed to allow local wildlife, such as Jaguars, Tabirs and Deer. Wildlife crossings To be upgraded, he said.

“Reorganization is needed … to be detailed because it includes deforestation,” Persena said. “Local communities may be a significant factor in helping to restore the Jungle Environmental system.”

Greenbees called the Mexico government called “positive” In a social media post The proposed activities are sufficient.

In a statement issued, Greenbees Mexico emphasized that it was very important to get public involvement in Semernat and consult with experts.

The Environmental Organization praised the announcement of the Zermanat’s announcement that it was considering the reflection of the region’s aquatic reservoir, including underground caves and sins. Senodes, which are common on the Urukadan Peninsula, are submerged by the collapse of the limestone bed, thus exposing groundwater.

“A aquarium is one of the main water sources of the region,” Greenbees said in a statement. “It connects different environmental systems and contains the archaeological and palette of the unimaginable value.”

The Global Environmental Organization said it was not enough to remove the mesh net and improve wildlife crops. “Strong measures must be implemented to guarantee the reproductive and survival of threatened organisms such as Jaguar,” it said, resetting prohibited biological corridors.

It was surprising that deforestation efforts could be sufficient, considering that nearly 10 million trees were toppled. When proposing the Maya train project, Lopez Obrador declared that “even a tree will not be cut.”

As part of the government’s deforestation program, the National Forestry Commission (Konafore) will seek to restore damaged swamps.

A Gonafore official said that the construction companies involved in the construction of the Maya train will fund the deforestation project, but no details have been provided to reporters. The government does not provide a cost estimate or explain when the restructuring work may begin.

Environmental and Social activists fought for the Maya Railway Project

Since the beginning of the project, the environmental and indigenous enthusiasts have objected to the construction of the train.

Environmental activists have announced the massive destruction of the forest of the peninsula and the government’s open defeat to carry out environmental impact studies. They also argued that there is a used steel and cement piling The underground limestone is pierced through the roofs of the caves, Destruction of the region’s archaeological and geographical heritage.

Domestic enthusiasts are local communities – often the population of tribal Maya – not properly consulted, even those who are forced to relocate. Others were surprised If the local culture is destroyed.

Enemies often won Temporary ban orders against the projectBut the government too Ignored the judgments or was able to cancel the results In appeal.

The end of a federal court, at the beginning of this year But the construction of two of the seven sections of the railway tracks stopped – 5 and 7 lines – but the critics were almost over, and the verdict was too late as the damage was already done to the surrounding environmental systems.

Sen. A standard pin on the side of the government – He said that the government was more than grateful for the government’s final acknowledging the environmental damage, but that if the restructuring efforts were short, it would continue to speak.
