But supporters believe it is a critical step towards better management of federal lands and say the nation must move quickly to reduce the threat from wildfires.
Rural Dominicans Launch Ecotourism Enterprises

Moreta, president of the Ecological Society in the nearby town of Paraiso, knows that the endemic trogon’s cloud forest habitat has been greatly reduced. He is trying to turn Cachote’s cloud forest into a tourist attraction, so that local farmers have an incentive to protect it.
