Only yesterday I listened to a TV interview of Felucho Jimenez (Minister of Tourism) ranting that the Parque National Jaragua was the product of improvisation and should be chopped up for development. He mentioned that he has never seen any of the endangered species purported to live there. He
even joked about them! Of course, all he wants is to get his hands on some more real estate. He probably has sold it already! At one point, Felucho looked directly into the camera, and threatened to sue all those who have accused him of owning real estate. I swear the guy looked drunk or high on drugs.
Again, contratulations, Motorcycler!

Thanks Mirador... How I wish I could have better equipment, time, resources, etc. etc. But I did promise the Oviedo gang that I would put their face on the internet and support their cause. It is strictly a local Dominican run operation.
The guides are well informed and trained and they are from the barrio in Oviedo. This place is truly a haven for wildlife and it is just as interesting that Saturnino has helped organize the community so that everyone recognizes the potential and all get into the full swing. It will take a while longer for them to get together on a plan but it is so interesting to see even the little ones as this Richie Ricardo memorize from the guides their talk and see their interest in this lagoon.My best to them for sure.
THE FOLLOWING IS FOR ALL WHO READ THIS...
In as far as the Oviedo Lagoon is concerned I would appreciatte anyone that reads this to carry this video everywhere they can. To tell others, to inform in and out of the DR and spread the word so that Felucho and his satraps can see that they can not sweep these local, hard working Dominicans under the rug of their own senseless ambition. Neither can they trade the patrimony of this haven of wildlife for their unchecked avarice.
Thanks once again...
