may be this will help in someway.

Thinking globally this will definately help everybody, including Dominican residents.
In Haity A strict law has to be set up in order to stop killing themselves by putting over the nature.
I understand they chop trees doing given to the lack of economic resources, however; they requiere of more enviromental information and international supports.

Doesn't make sense at all, if you plan a tree and then you cut it down without receiving benefifs from it.

I hope Haitians autorities appreciate what the DR is doing for them,.

We need to understand them anyway,

I believe we have to live under the circunstances most haitians do, to be able to understand the ways they act.

Well, what Haiti is experiencing occurred to other great, past civilizations, e.g. Persian, Romain, Egyptian, etc. For someone without an historic past to speak of, it would be a formidable feat to comprehend what Haitians are going through. Instead, you should have been grateful for having been liberated from from your slaves masters and enlightened for 21 years by them.

Without an historic past? you'll have to excuse me tika, but you seriously need to go back to school, because every chronicle says that we dominicans were established on this island in all but name way before the french deemed to establish colonial Saint Domingue, which is the origin of your country for all intends and purposes, so please, do a little more research before making remarks, unless you like to look like a total idiot, that is. And please, don't come to me with the old bs that every ignorant foreigner tells us when trying to put us down: "All of your accomplishments were done by spaniards", when it's a well known fact that even on the beginnings of the dominican's historic past spaniards were a minority compared to the native triracial population of the Santo Domingo colony, which is the basis of the current dominican people, a population that defended the island against all types of piratical invaders (french, dutch and english) without getting aid from Spain. cont...

(cont..) In fact, you should give thanks to God for the foolishness of Spain, because, had it not given legal sanction to the usurpations of your french overlords by signing the treaty of Ryswick (1697), Saint Domingue would have been overrun by the inroads of the criollos' cincuentenas during the War of the Grand Alliance (1688-1697). In fact, let me do you a favor and actually put a book on your hands:

Have a very nice reading, you sorely need it.

Good for both countries.

There needs to be some authority to oversee projects such as this, but in order for that to happen, an effective central government has to exist. The Idea is good , but people need to understand why it is important to have trees, and that they exist not only to supply fire wood, that trees exist to hold the soil together, which helps prevent landslides which kill many each year. Education and enviormental development must go hand in hand. The U.N. and other NGO's should take up this task in order to acheive some level of success.

Lautaro, you are truly a man amongst mice. Keep up the good work!

The gesture is admirable but in reality it is a waste and will become charcoal in a very short time!

This is only a public relations ploy by the DR government to look good much like most of the aid to Africa which goes to waste but makes the contributors "feel good".

Only total internation stewardship of Haiti for 75 to 100 years could get them on track and only then if they impose some sort of martial law and mandatory education and social manipulation.

Face it Haiti cannot stand by itself and no amount of aid managed by Hiaitians will ever help because it's like giving a 5 year old $10,000.
