This essay questions the controversial legal gap within the General Law of Biodiversity in Mexico, since it was published in the Senate in 2016. The careless prohibition to extractive activities in the mentioned law gives the opportunity to discuss the ecological costs of mega mining, one of the most harmful activities for the environment. Starting from the conclusions obtained in the famous research The Limits to Growth, published originally in 1972 and written by researchers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this paper breaks down and contextualizes the consequences of extractivism, starting from the global perspectives to the regional and local ones.
