El animal mexicano que ha saltado a la fama mundial sin duda es el ajolote, pero tristemente la imagen más popular de ellos son las variedades domésticas rosadas de sólo el Ajolote de Xochimilco (A. mexicanum) ignorando las otras especies, muchas en peligro de extinción

Fossil fuel companies are emboldened by Trump and by recent events in global geopolitics, as seen at COP30. The lives of future generations are at stake here, as humanity careens in the wrong direction fast.

Social democracy in Mexico is dramatically accelerating ecocide
Claudia Sheinbaum did not attend COP30, but her Minister for the Environment, Harvard educated biologist Alicia Bárcena @aliciabarcena made a number of bold pledges that look great on paper. 🧵

Mexico has signed CITES, yet this is another area in which government corruption has to be addressed and investigated; these crimes cannot take place without it. Many, such as @YoAmoaLaCiencia, have reported extensively on the ongoing cruelty of illegal wildlife trafficking.
An alarming increase in wildlife trafficking into #California is being blamed on social media for fuelling a demand in wild animals, including #monkeys, as ‘pets’, in particular #spidermonkeys from #Mexico. Reported by Mongabay:

The reason for this is that all such projects - trains, refineries, airports, ports, hotels, and much more, have been handed over to the extremely opaque Mexican Armed Forces, who answer to no one.

Furthermore, all ongoing major infrastructure projects, such as the Trans-Isthmus Corridor which will essentially halt all animal migration along the vital North South wildlife routes, are exempt from Environmental Impact studies.

Also noteworthy are substantial budgetary reductions for the Ministry for the Environment and for the Council on Protected Areas CONANP, and increased subsidies - 28 billion USD - for FF.

PEMEX’s track record on the environment is appalling. A recent 2025 pipeline rupture spilled hydrocarbons over an initial 8 km stretch of the Pantepec River, extending to the Tuxpan River and potentially 35 km total, reaching the Gulf of Mexico.

This grand plan aims to boost gas production from ~3,500 million cubic feet per day (mmpcd) to 5,000 mmpcd by 2030 through “stimulation of complex geological formations”, (the term “fracking” is studiously avoided.)

Most egregiously, PEMEX, the famously corrupt and inefficient state owned FF company, will now implement fracking as part of its official Strategic Plan 2025-2035, unveiled in August 2025.

These pledges include a trinational Maya Forest preserve, a 35% emissions reduction by 2030, and 30% clean energy by 2035. However, the real politics of the situation contrast sharply with these announcements.
