Workers remove a native species of grass, to be transplanted in another area of the new Mexico City International Airport (NAICM) on August 25, 2017. The native grass is conditioned to the heat and sandy soil in the area. Mexico's newly elected president Andreas Lopez Manuel Obrador cancelled this project in the fall of 2018, while it was in the middle of construction. The airport was set to replace the aging Benito Juarez International Airport.
