Judges endorse destruction of jungle in Mahahual in favor of the construction of Royal Caribbean water park.
The injunction against Royal Caribbean's "Perfect Day Mexico" resort was dismissed by the First Collegiate Court of the Twenty-Seventh Circuit. Environmental organizations warn that this decision favors the commercial interests of Royal Caribbean and leaves the ecosystems of Mahahual, a coastal city in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, vulnerable. Mahahual is located next to the world's second-largest coral reef.
The project was announced in October 2024 by the governor of Quintana Roo, Mara Lezama. However, since its announcement, various organizations and groups have expressed concern about the potential environmental and social impacts of the development. They point to risks to local ecosystems, as well as to the livelihoods of the area's inhabitants.
🚫 NO TO THE PROJECT!! Whales need us, and we need them. Every living being is important to our planet. Let's protect their habitat. We cannot allow corporations to become millionaires at the expense of species extinction. We must join these causes and not remain passive. IT'S OUR PLANET! 🌍
