Overview

• About 30 Greenpeace members arrived before dawn and nine climbed roughly 70 meters to unfurl a 26–27 meter banner reading “La Selva Maya grita, SEMARNAT ¡Sálvala!”.
• Firefighters, police and rescue teams monitored the scene and secured the area as the organization characterized the protest as a non‑violent action.
• The Secretaría de Gobierno de la Ciudad de México confirmed no legal action against the participants after reviewing the condition of the Estela de Luz.
• The city’s Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana noted the ascent could fall under the Ley de Cultura Cívica, which allows fines or brief detention for unauthorized entry to restricted spaces.
• Greenpeace links what it says is the recent loss of roughly 285,000–300,000 hectares of Selva Maya to real estate and tourism projects, infrastructure including the Tren Maya, sascaberas and industrial agriculture, and it is pressing SEMARNAT to revoke permits and adopt binding protections.
