The ambitious project aims to improve tourism infrastructure in the south of the country and will require US$8 billion in investment. It will stretch across 1,500 kilometres of track through the states of Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas and Quintana Roo, according to the project&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tren-maya.mx\">official website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new government claims the train will trigger tourism development in the Yucatan Peninsula, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sectur.gob.mx\/content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/PDF-Riviera-Maya.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most visited area in Mexico<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

AMLO did conduct a national consultation on the project but did not include communities who speak Mayan and other indigenous languages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Alan\u00eds, the Mayan Train must follow the necessary environmental impact procedure and obtain a favourable resolution. &#8220;It seems as though they are rushing. They want to start projects without complying with the legal framework,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alan\u00eds added that the railway project must consider land use in forested areas and in different municipalities, since the line will pass through jurisdictions and cities which have their own development programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the National Fund for Tourism Promotion (Fonatur), the technical and environmental impact studies will be ready by the end of 2019, with work beginning in 2020. Mayan Train maps indicate that the route will come into contact with 15 federal protected areas, 20 state protected areas, including the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve and regions rich in geological and hydrological resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><div class='cdo-shortcode--image'><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20803 size-full\" title=\"mayan train\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mapa-07.png\" alt=\"mayan train\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1313\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Obviously, we must consider endangered species or those at risk of extinction, both flora and fauna, as it is an area with great abundance,&#8221; said Alan\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, the National Alliance for Jaguar Conservation conducted a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/alianzajaguarmexico.mx\/?page_id=680&amp;lang=es\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nationwide census<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, finding that the species number around 4,000 across five regions in Mexico.

The 76<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pledged that no economic, productive, commercial or tourism project would be allowed to impact the environment. Opponents say his signature project presents many challenges in a region of Mexico rich in natural resources, history and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Chinese interest<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italian, Canadian and Chinese companies have shown great interest in the Mayan Train. China, in particular, has expressed a desire to participate and lend its extensive experience in constructing high-speed trains. The Chinese embassy in Mexico told news agency <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dg2l4X0S2WU&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notimex <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it had the technological knowhow and economic capacity to support the mega-project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Chinese investments in Mexico took on great importance in 2018 as a result of the bidding they won in maritime oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico,\u201d Eugenio Anguiano, Mexico&#8217;s first ever ambassador to China, told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Di\u00e1logo Chino<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These, plus other mining concessions, have created a pattern for China to participate in infrastructure, he added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the current scheme, public investment is limited to 20% with the majority financed by private contributions. It is not yet clear whether foreign non-direct investment will be allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The previous Mexican government had also pushed for a shiny new railway on taking office in 2012. &#8220;We also have the precedent of the failed Mexico City to Queretaro railroad,&#8221; Anguiano said.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='cdo-shortcode--image'><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_20706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20706\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20706 size-full\" title=\"mayan train\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/tren-maya.png\" alt=\"mayan train\" width=\"865\" height=\"395\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The official Logo for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tren-maya.mx\">Tren Maya\u00a0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2014, the government of Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto announced the award of a tender for a line linking the capital with the city of Queretaro 2014 to a consortium consisting of, among others, China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, after an article by the Aristegui News website brought to light connections between the then president and the businessman who formed the winning consortium, the contract was suspended and a new call for applications made. CRCC\u2019s contract was eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/business-29948331\">cancelled<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the Chinese government is demanding that Mexico pay US$600 million dollars in compensation. According to Anguiano, however, this won\u2019t necessarily harm the prospects for other Chinese investments in the country. Mexico should seize the moment that otherwise warm relations offer, he added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The direction of economic relations between Mexico\u2019s new government and China are as yet unclear. According to Anguiano, AMLO is already implementing a series of erratic policies, such as the recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-10-29\/mexico-votes-to-scrap-13-billion-airport-in-amlo-s-first-test\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cancellation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the controversial Mexico City airport scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This uncertainty comes at a time when Chinese embassies in the region have been instructed to ask their host governments to sign a memorandum of understanding in support of China&#8217;s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative (BRI).
