When I recently flew into Cancun Mexico, I noticed thousands of acres of dead trees...Does anyone know why?

This was just north of the Cancun Airport by a few miles and stretched for miles and miles.

Part of what you saw had to do with Hurricane Wilma. However, five or six years ago the area your talking about caught fire in a lightening storm, and burned and smoldered for years. The inaccessibility of the region made it almost impossible to get any meaningful firefighting measures to the fire. The fire finally burned itself out three years later after destroying appox. a million acers of jungle.

They are consequence of hurricane Wilma (October 2005). Since that area is hard to reach, dead trees were left to Mother Nature's forces, but unfortunately, during the dry season, that trees were fuel to several forest fires.

Local authorities are working on rebuild the hotel zone, but both downtown and natural reserves are still waiting for full attention and investment to be rebuilt.

Well, the Secretary for the Welfare of the Ecology(SEMARNAT)....whose director was (at the time of the decision) Alberto Cardenas allowed a private conominium to be built in a biosafety area...(bribe, probably not him but since he was in charge at the time... ) probably.... That biosafety area was one of the biggest "manglares" or fields of mangos....It was aggred upon that no one was to sell a biosafety area but sadly it was....hope it helps...

In relation to the hurricanes, I went there in Dec of last year, & noticed all the dead trees, & debris etc...


LARGE MARGE
Probably something to do with hurricane Wilma, or a past storm

I believe they used that area as a resource to get lumber to rebuild the area from the hurricane
