Mayan Train Cargo Hub: Progress vs. Environment

Mexico's Mayan Train just broke ground on a massive $400 million cargo terminal in Cancún, sparking both excitement and controversy.

But as bulldozers move in, environmentalists are raising alarms about the potential impact on the region's delicate rainforest and its native species, igniting a battle between economic growth and ecological preservation.
