Overview
- The Tercer Tribunal Colegiado granted a provisional suspension that forbids tree cutting, land clearing and any work in parks or green areas along the Cablebús route.
- The order arose from an amparo filed by neighborhood groups and collectives after a Seventh District judge denied an initial pause on the project.
- The tribunal recognized a credible risk to green spaces and biodiversity but said there is not yet proof of concrete damage to justify a definitive halt.
- The Puebla government says it will present a final environmental and technical study on March 31 and estimates about 116 trees would be transplanted rather than removed.
- Activists claim the project could affect roughly 700 trees, multiple parks and bird species, and they report earlier tree cuts and fires near planned sites, highlighting a broader fight over public works and urban ecology in Mexico’s amparo courts.
