Dear Ashish,  thanks so much for sharing. If people are interested or have not yet seen the material, I can share the IRON Tribunal's latest resolution on Tren Maya and the report of the International Observers' mission that I joined in April this year and that traveled through Yucatan as a follow-up to our Tribunal hearing on Tren Maya held last year. 
Please let me know

Best

Francesco

Dear All, 

Read and share our latest article on 
Radical Ecological Democracy (REDWeb), originally written in Spanish and translated into English- 

[En Español

El Tren Maya, un megaproyecto ferroviario interurbano de 1500 km que atraviesa la península de Yucatán, ya está impactando los ecosistemas de zonas clave como las reservas de la Biosfera de Calakmul y Sian Ka'an. Junto con esta mega infraestructura, también se están aprobando leyes regresivas que atentan contra la naturaleza y los derechos humanos, especialmente los de las comunidades locales que viven en estas áreas ecológicas clave y sus alrededores. 

También he copiado al autor en este hilo de correo electrónico si desea compartir algún comentario/reflexión con él.

[in English]

The Tren Maya (Mayan Train), a 1500km inter-city railway megaproject that traverses the Yucatán Peninsula, is already impacting the ecosystems of key areas such as the Calakmul and the Sian Ka’an Biosphere reserves. Along with this mega-infrastructure, regressive laws are also being passed that harm nature and human rights, especially those of the local communities living in and around these key ecological areas.

This article was originally written in Spanish. Read the English translation here-  https://radicalecologicaldemocracy.org/development-caught-up-with-us-and-overtook-us-on-the-left/

I have also copied the author on this email thread if you would like to share feedback/comments/reflections with Albert directly. 

In solidarity, 
pooja
