Santo Domingo. – The Environment Ministry (SEMARENA) handed over to the Immigration Agency 46 undocumented Haitians who were caught chopping down trees to plant crops in the Los Haitises National Park (northeast), just five days after the killings of at least three undocumented Haitians rocked the border town Jimaní.
SEMARENA’s Environmental Protection Service said the Haitians trespass in the protected area to cut trees and after the devastations returns to burn the dry wood. “The group is accused of depredating a zone of Los Haitises pertaining to the communities Pilancón and El Guanito, Monte Plata province, where they wrought enormous damage to the flora, fauna and water resources of that important protected area.”
SEMARENA officials handed over the undocumented people to Immigration Agency regional director Francisco Santos Tolentino, to continue the legal process.

I don't hate Haitians, but how would they feel if the Dominicans came and stole the very resource that accounts for at least 30 percent of their economy. When they destroy the natural beauty of the D.R it affects us economically not only morally. we need more troops on the border.

if you do that, them you will have the international community saying that we are invading haitian land and will more likely have some embargo or something all that scale will happen
From: United States
ive never heard of an embargo for protecting your border. And if there is an embargo, it is probably going to come from the Europeans specifically the French. Yes, the French the same people that ravaged Haiti for all its resources and made them pay remittance for gaining their freedom.

The french can bring it on. There are plenty of french livind in Las Terrenas and all over Samana, Im sure that they will be the first to protest it. Secondly Dominicans are well prepared to handle any kind of negative attacks for at least we still have Morales Troncoso that for the most part has stood up in previous attacks.

LF doesn't have the fortitude and manhood necessary to be a president, He is gifted as a speecher, intellectual, ect, but when the time comes to hang the "COJONES" in the right
place He doesn't react accordingly.
We would be in better hands with a president like Alvaro Uribe from Colombia which has
enough and sufficient stamina and testosterone to take decisions like a real man !

There have to be a reward program to pay citizen who report this SOB cutting tree,, Dominican or Haitian

For most part I have sat on fence on this type of issue and everything Haitian; however, I can't help but be irritated at the sustained perpetration of this crime against the environment and our future well being.
It makes it challenging to live in harmony and continue to be a good neighbor if these transgressions continue unabated. This is a matter of self-preservation and continuation of Dominican way of life and culture.
One side of the island is already deforested and in dire straits; we don't need to do that to the other side.
I don't believe we have to resort to mob rule and killings, but something effective must be implemented as deterrent, perhaps something approaching "Islamic Law". We simply cannot allow our lands and patrimony to be devastated, with all of its bad consequences, and to permanently change the local climate, flora and fauna. This is all we got and, without it, we are nothing.
Let's move on this issue sooner rather than later, before it's too late

Like the drug trade, you will never be able to stop illegal charcoal making as long as there is a profit factor as part of the equation. Let's get them where it hurts most....in their pockets. Let the DR flood the market with cheap imported charcoal and to help further depress prices have the gov't subsidize it like they do with GLP gas. And then you will see Haitians stop cutting down trees to make charcoal. It will no longer be economically be feasible.

I think there is a cultural part to this equation .....chicken tastes much better al carbon than cooked with gas .....they look the same but the taste MMMMMMmmmmm good when cooked with charcoal
they would just cross over the next day.
