ao I have read the article that chris suggested and find that the defeoretation is the worst thing that cna hapen. Now that being said remeber back i nthe early 80's where floresta was form i nthe DR to help fight the deforestation. Well I belive that biodiesel cna also help with that same problem. Here i nthe Dr their lots of land that is simply out of nutients for normal crops(yuca,platano etccc) not what if you cna plant Pinon Leche that will help resoted the soild since it will protec the land also it will serve as biodiesel source fro mthe seeds it produce and the best part is that thier no need ot cutting it down We have had son pinos in our finca for over 30years and they are still producing seeds. Now I na not saing lets got nad stop producing our traditional crops no what iam saying is lets develop stategies that would help some of our poverty isises and some of our errotion issues especial along the haitian border and in the south of the country. Jatropa Curcas might work and we dont have to cut any trees to find out.
