Canyon of the Usumacinta - Protection?


Alfonso Morales wrote with what he called old news - a scan of a page from Tabasco Hoy from June 10, about the establishment of a protected area around the canyons of the Usumacinta, in Tabasco. (Click on the image for a large version)

If true, this would prevent the building of a dam at Boca del Cerro, near Tenosique. Alfonso is looking for more information, and I was unable to find a direct link to the report. But the full text of an earlier report by the same local reporter can be found in this entry in a weblog called "My Beloved Tenosique".
