Yucatán coastal dunes face real estate threats
The article reports on the construction of the Dunas Tourist Complex in Chuburná Puerto, Yucatán, which involves building 14 towers with 138 apartments on coastal dunes. The project violates environmental regulations, threatens local biodiversity—including endangered species—and damages the ecosystem that acts as a natural barrier against weather events. Protests have erupted against the development, citing environmental destruction, loss of native habitat, and social exclusion of local residents, with authorities temporarily halting construction due to permit violations.
