Ultimatum for Los Haitises

[NewsWhore]

Environment Minister Jaime David Fernandez has issued an ultimatum to people living and working in Los Haitises National Park: either get out or be moved out by force. Speaking about the initiative Fernandez said, "future generations are in jeopardy, and by not acting we would be responsible for destroying it." During recent weeks the Minister has warned that illegal farming and settlement in the Park would no longer be allowed, saying that protecting the area was "an issue of national security". He has issued a series of warnings to people farming in the area. Fernandez explained that the "invasion" of the park began 16 years ago, meaning that every government since shares responsibility for the deterioration of an area of key ecological importance in the Caribbean.
