Maya communities in Yucatán protest Heineken’s proposed brewery over fears of worsening water scarcity and harming sacred cenotes.
Indigenous Maya communities in Yucatán are protesting a proposed Heineken brewery in Kanasín, fearing it will worsen severe water scarcity by drawing heavily on the region’s fragile underground aquifers, including the culturally significant Cenote Ring.
Despite Heineken’s promise of sustainable water use and wastewater recycling, locals remain skeptical, citing a history of environmental violations and inadequate treatment of wastewater.
The project, part of a $2.75 billion investment, has sparked protests and legal challenges, with communities demanding greater transparency and independent assessments before any decision is made.
