Overview
- An October 7 inspection in Chicxulub Pueblo documented removal of native vegetation, stone-surfaced access roads, terrain leveling, and a purpose-built motocross circuit with jumps and sharp turns.
- Authorities estimate the works affected roughly 4.27 hectares of selva baja caducifolia, a biodiverse dry forest ecosystem.
- Profepa ordered the immediate halt of construction and issued the site-wide closure as a precautionary security measure.

- Profepa said it will continue monitoring compliance and called on the public to report suspected illegal land-use changes on forest lands.
