When the Mennonites arrived to Bacalar, they uprooted trees, bushes, and plants and replaced them with various crops and livestock. All of this they did without permits. For two or three seasons a year they toil on the six thousand hectares of arable land. In the process, they dump hundreds of thousands of liters of agrochemicals into the ground putting the ecosystem at risk. Eight kilometers away is the city of Bacalar. Coveted for its proximity to the shore and to Bacalar Lagoon, this town is a main tourist destination of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Once famous for its multiple shades of blue, the waters of Bacalar turned a dirty and uniform color in 2020 after the tropical storm Cristobal hit the region. A large part of the water unloaded by the storm flowed into the lagoon, resulting in a massive death toll of endemic species. The Mennonites were singled out as the main culprits. Pouring chemicals on the porous soil of the Yucatan Peninsula brings with it a serious problem: the abundant rains that fall in the region easily infiltrate it the soil and spread the pollutants. The great Mayan aquifer is a complex network of interconnected underground rivers supplied by this rainfall. The jungle, the cenotes, the mangroves, and the seagrasses, are all connected by this aquifer. What happens in one place affects all the others. This project seeks to understand this community, to address their impact on the climate crisis and ultimately to foster conversation about the importance of looking for sustainable alternatives and the urgency of environmental education.
