But for all of those who want to open your eyes, this is another side of haiti. Also, please show some pictures of the rural DR, or the simple towns. Not the santiago or santo domingo, but something rural and beautiful with its simplicity. P.S. Something like samana is good too, I was there earlier this year, I loved that place due its remote location and sense of the real DR as opposed to the tourist version of DR. Thanks for the great insight into the hidden jewels that your country has to offer to its people and the world. The visuals are very stimulating and you can only imagine how these places can be used for the betterment of Haiti. The church in Baradaires gives us a pretty good idea to visualize a central park or plaza in front of it with nice big trees and gardens, as well as replicas of colonial buildings that could be used for shops, restaurants and boutique hotels. The sorrounding green hills could be best utilized for ecotourism tours and adventures. The southern coast seems to be a great place to relaunch your tourism industry, hopefully with environmental sustainability in mind. The pictures are nice but Haiti has a long way to go to erase the errors of tree cutting. If you see the second to last pic where you see the white boat. Look at the background. Its green but the land to tree ratio is bad. The background should look like a forest, also the pics must have been taken during the rain season. Those hills probably become dry and yellow during the non rainy season. Haiti has potential but the first think that must be done is to replace ALL of the missing trees. |

Now if I wanted to show forests, I would have done with the few remaining, but that wasn't the objective. Sigh, Dreadlocks, Lautaro, Cibaeno, Jabao, Jeme, and other intelligent veterans that used to be here all the time what has happened in the last year? Anywho, please keep this thread free from ignorance and unnecessary mudslinging and critiquing of both countries. This is probably the few threads that I see, civil. |

Am I right or wrong when I say that the forest need to be re-planted? You guys are children if you thought that my comments were sarcasm  |

Not that long ago, before the DR became the playground for Eurotrash, Haiti actually did have a tourist industry. During the Duvalier era it was ok to go to Haiti and people had nice facilities to go to. One of the most famous private nature reserves and eco-tourism hotel in Costa Rica is Monteverde in the northern province of Guanacaste. When this reserve was established, much of its current rainforests were deforested cattle grazing land. The land was bought over from these ranchers and slowly but surely restored to its previous wealth of plants, insects and animals. This model of development is not such a far fetched idea, its doable. All it would take is one of those rich Haitians or expats to put his money where his mouth is. |

You guys are children if you thought that my comments were sarcasm Mr. illwill, please look at the Private message I sent you and respect my request. I never said you were making fun of any country. I said, your critiques weren't necessary. Please do not group me with your play pals who love to say negative thing about each others country. Honestly, I just wanted to post pictures and nothing more. I wasn't trying to show forests when I was showing some of the rural villages, didn't know rural villages had to have forests. On some grown folks talk, when someone is showing something good, you stay with the flow and keep it moving. Please, keep me away from your topics and comments. If you are civilized, Im sure you will respect my wishes and please remove my alias name from your comments. I will more than gladly delete this message, and take another leave of absence from this forum. I honestly don't want to be part of this crew of mudslingers. I think both DR and Haiti have their good and bad parts, I just thought it would be nice to have a thread without any unnecessary critiques and mudslinging, just talking about the good. This thread is about how is living in haiti, not about how to reforest haiti, stay on topic. Anywho, please remove me from your comments and don't use my name in any future topics. Thanks in advance. |

Sajomero, Good way to look at things,but I think haiti needs to really remove so much dependency in charcoal. Its better to just provide a subsidy for propane gas, that's what decelerated DR's deforestation. That and higher levels of income will help in the long term. Ideally I think haiti should focus on North and Southern parts which still have some trees left. Some of the central mountain rangers are in really bad shapes. |

Rual villiges need as many trees as they can get. We both know that there are alot of junk cars and motorcycles in DR and Haiti that polute the air. |
