While I don't want to take away from the stray dog thead I was wondering about the passed ammendment adjustment to the Environmental Law 164-00. According to yesterday's report, protected status to National Park areas in DR has been lifted and are now eligible for construction. Anyone have the scoop on the points used to get this approved? What are the implication to this: Loss of public access, potential damage to biodiversity, unsustainable tourism construction? Can anything be done to stop this?
This vote passed 104 to 33. This is a huge margin, a landslide. If true transparency were practiced in DR it would be imperative to see whose bank accounts got a little bit fatter from the fall out of this vote.
I just love it when government pull this let's work through the weekend crap. It always seems that the shadies things get pulled off at the weirdest hours.
My concern is that there will be no sacred areas in DR. The way we are going it is just to become another Haiti, just ravaged by our own people and by the highest bidder from where ever.
