Engineers said it would take 15 years to build the Maya Train – the flagship infrastructure project of Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Builders work on the construction of an access crossing to the Cancún terminal of the Maya Train. “These [railway lines] are artificial borders for species like jaguars,” said Aarón Hernández Siller, from Cemda, an environmental NGO. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador speaks during the laying of the first stone of the Maya Train in El Ideal, Quintana Roo, on 1 June 2020. “[The Maya Train] itself isn’t just a passenger train,” said Hernández Siller.
