The Presidency did not consider the dialogue closed and invited the activists to find out about the project.
“To the personalities and activists of #SélvameDelTren and those interested, we invite you to visit that region of Quintana Roo and speak with residents, indigenous communities and families of ejidatarios who live along section 5 of the Mayan Train, which goes from Cancun to Tulum, along the Riviera Maya. That way they will find out that people were informed and consulted, “he adds.
Opponents of the work have indicated that it has generated an ecocide in the area, and that even by modifying the route hundreds of trees were felled unnecessarily; in this regard, the version of the Presidency is that there will be equivalent reforestation.
“In the construction of the Mayan Train, the environment is taken care of and there will be 260 fauna crossings. The flora and fauna are rescued, in addition to the fact that there are 175 wildlife conservation units in which 105 specialists participate; in addition, areas will be expanded protected natural areas and conservation reserves in the regions involved.n the five states where the train passes, 448 thousand hectares will be reforested with 492 million trees (plus another 800 thousand trees that will be planted along the road); for this there are four thousand community nurseries and six military”, they highlight.
Specific reference is even made to Section 5, which is the one denounced by the activists.
“In the construction of section 5 of the Mayan Train –Cancún-Tulum– cenotes or underground rivers will not be affected. 300 hectares of acahual will be impacted. There is a flora and fauna rescue plan, in addition to the planting of three trees for each removed,” the statement abuda.
