Others are infrastructure like the Mayan train & the Interoceanic corridor. Acc to Indigenous & Tribal Peoples Convention, before starting a project, an indigenous community must be informed to decide whether to accept it. This is generally omitted /carried out with deception.
What does the war against the Indigenous peoples of Mexico mean? MEGAPROJECTS, EXTRACTIVISM, DECEPTION. Mexico plans more than 1,600 projects & megaprojects, the majority on indigenous peoples’ land. Many are mining, oil & energy projects with concessions of 20 to 100 years. #CNI
