1 | Dominican Republic: Against the Cement Factory in Los Haitises | Repoblika Dominikana: manohitra ny fananganana orinasa fanaovana simenitra ao Los Haitises |
2 | For more than a month, Dominicans have been protesting against the proposed construction of a cement factory in the protected area of Los Haitises National Park, a chalky ecosystem with unique characteristics located in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. | Efa ho 1 volana mahery izay dia nanao fihetsiketsehana fanoherana ny fananganana orinasa mpamokatra simenitra ao amin'ny faritra arovana ao amin'ny valan-javaboahary any Los Haitises ny mponina any amin'ny Repoblika Dominikana, faritra izay ahitana fifangaroana tontolo iainana misy kalkera manana ny maha izy azy manokana any amin'ny faritra avaratra atsinanan'ny firenena. |
3 | It has been declared Cultural Patrimony for its caves, which contains Taíno art. In addition, Los Haitises is one of the primary sources of water on the island, and it estimated that is importance will grow as a strategic reserve because of its numerous underground currents. | Nosokajiana ho faritra manan-tantara ara-kolontsaina izy ity noho ireo lavaka maro hita ao aminy mitahiry ireo sangan'asa Taino. Ambonin'izany dia i Los Haitises no anankiray amin'ireo toerana mamatsy rano madio ity nosy ity ary azo heverina fa hanjary ho fitehirizan-drano fototra any an-toerana izy noho ireo loharano marobe ao aminy. |
4 | The fragile ecosystem, often known as the lungs of the Caribbean, has been targeted by the Grupo Estrella as the location for a cement factory, and which many are concerned about the damage to the natural spaces, as well as flora and fauna that are in danger of extinction. | Izany tontolo iainana mora simba izany, fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe havokavoky Karaiba, no nofidian'ny Group Estrella hananganana orinasa mpamokatra simenitra. Izany no nahatonga ny fanahiana amin'izay mety ho fahapotehan'ny tontolo iainana ao aantiny. |
5 | With other possible locations for the factory without the rich biodiversity, Luijo of Ahí e Que Prende [es] asks, “why the insistence of having it in Los Haitises? | Misy toerana hafa azo anorenana io orinasa io, mametram-panontaniana noho izany i Luijo ao amin'ny bilaogy Ahi e Que Prendre: “Maninona no tsy maintsy hatao ao Los Haitises izy io? |
6 | Why in that place exactly?” | Maninona no tsy maintsy hoe ao amin'io toerana io?” |
7 | However, this large company with its headquarters in Santiago, has a strong economic and commercial impact with its important shares in one of the most prestigious Dominican universities, and as the owner a national newspaper, among its other businesses. | Ity orinasa vaventy ity dia manana ny foibeny any Santiago, manana ny lanjany manokana eo amin'ny lafiny ekônômika sy ara-barotra, ary manana anto-bola any amin'ny anjerimanontolo lehibe iray any Saint-Domingue, ary anankiray amin'ireo zavatra marobe ataony koa ny fanaovan-gazety nasionaly. |
8 | In addition, there is official support, and the Environmental Secretary Jaime David Fernández has avoided the subject and many consider that his reputation has been damaged. | Ambonin'izany rehetra izany di nahazo ny fanohanana ofisialy tamin'ny sekreteram-panjakana miahy ny tontolo iainana izy, Jaime David Fernandez, izay mody fanina amin'ity resaka ity. Mihevitra ny maro fa voaloto ny lazany. |
9 | José Méndez of Monaco [es] calls on the government official to make a statement about his role in the matter: | Mangataka ny solontenan'ny governemanta hamoaka fanambarana mikasika ny heviny manoloana ity raharaha ity i José Mendez, mpitoraka bilaogy avy any Espana: |
10 | Jaime David, we call on you to denounce if you are receiving pressure to implement (this project) that I am sure that you actually do not approve of at all, try to explain it. | Jaime David, miangavy anao izahay hilaza aminay ireo mpamporisika anao hanatanteraka io vinavinan'asa io, satria azoko antoka fa tsy sitrakao velively ny hanatanteraka azy io. Hazavao ny hevitrao. |

12 | As a result, protests have taken place in the community of Gonzalo, which is located in Monteplata next to Los Haitises. | Vokatr'izany rehetra izany dia nisy fihetsiketsehana tany Gonzalo, any Monteplata, akaikin'i Los Haitises. |
13 | It was also the scene of violent confrontations and large protests by residents that do not want the cement factory. | Nanjary toerana nisian'ny fifandonana sy fivoriam-be notanterahan'ireo tsy mankasitraka ny fananganana ity orinasa ity io toerana io. |
14 | Online there have also been campaigns to collect signatures for petitions, Facebook groups, and bloggers and twitterers have also come out against this proposal. | Tsy izany ihany anefa fa nisy koa ny fanangonan-tsonia, nisy ny fanentanana isan-karazany an-tserasera. |
15 | A Twitter account called Haitises Park has provided updates on the campaign saying “We Don't Want Cement in out National Park.” | Misy antokon'olona ao amin'ny Facebook, mpitoraka bilaogy sy mpiserasera amin'ny twitter nanara-dia ireo mpanohitra. |
16 | | Ny serasera twitter iray antsoina hoe Haitises Park no nanolotra fanavaozana pejy miaraka amin'ny teny hoe “Tsy mila simenitra ao amin'ny valan-javaboaharinay izahay”. |
17 | Some of the protests were organized on blogs, such as the blog by José Árias [es]. | Misy koa ny fihetsiketsehana fanoherana karakaraina ao amin'ny bilaogy sasantsasany tahaka ny biloagin'i José Arias. |
18 | Officials from the Department of Environment has tried to insist that the cement factory will be placed in a flat area and will not affect the national park. | Miezaka manamarika ny solontenan'ny sampana miahy ny tontolo iainana, milaza fa ity orinasa ity dia apetraka ao amin'ny faritra mitokana ka tsy hanelingelina velively ireo zava-mananaina ao anatiny. |
19 | It has emphasized that there have been wrong ideas that the cement factory will be in the middle of Los Haitises. | Notsindriany koa fa diso ny fiheverana fa hatao ao afovoan'ny valan-javaboaharin'i Los Haitises ny orinasa. |
20 | Nevertheless, it appears that these public campaigns have paid off, as a judicial decision has ordered the suspension of activities [es] because of potential environmental damage. | Niafara tamin'ny vokatra tsara ny fihetsiketsehana nataon'ny mponina satria namoaka didy ny fitsarana fa atsahatra ny asa rehetra noho ny loza mety aterany. |
