Hmm, I don't think taking a tour of Tulum on July 4th weekend is a great idea. 😬

(the roads there to tourist spots are already rough dirt roads in many places, unless they've improved in the last few years) #MXwx #Tulum #Cancun #Beryl #HurricaneBeryl

Mexico is burning.

The United States petroleum machine fueled the fire.

Heat-related monkey deaths are now reported in several Mexican states

Heat-related howler monkeys deaths in Mexico have been recorded in a total of four states, environmental authorities said. The Environment Department said late Tuesday that monkey deaths have now been recorded in a total of four states, mostly on the Gulf of Mexico. The department also said tests confirmed the primates died of heat stroke. Experts said the country's current drought also probably played a role noting “a lack of water in the streams and springs in the areas where the monkeys live.” The department did not give the latest estimate on the number of deaths, but earlier said at least 157 monkeys had perished since the die-off began in early May.

"Wildlife biologist Gilberto Pozo attributed the deaths to a heat stroke, noting a “synergy” of factors — including high heat, drought, forest fires and logging that deprives the monkeys of water, shade and the fruit they eat — appeared to be to blame, while saying a pathogen, disease or other factor can’t yet be ruled out."
