0share A dilapidated shed on a potholed road in the heart of Mexico’s Unesco-protected Calakmul biosphere is an unlikely war room.  But it is from here that the Regional Indigenous and Popular Council of Xpujil (Cripx), a local NGO, has launched a legal battle to stop President López Obrador’s $7.8-billion Maya Train project in its tracks.  Cripx and local farmers are worried about the environmental impact of running diesel engines through the habitat of endangered jaguars in a landscape studded with archaeological treasures. They are facing off against a powerful adversary: the military.  The government has awarded construction contracts for several stretches of the 1,500-kilometer route including the one through the lush Calakmul biosphere, which is home to the majestic ruins of the same name to the defence ministry. This month it announced that once complete, the entire Maya Train would belong to the army.
