Government carries out titling of lands in national parks of the State

The government of the Dominican Republic acknowledged on Thursday that the majority of state-owned national parks currently lack official land titles, making their regularisation a priority for the current administration.

Historically, many protected areas in the country have operated without formal property documentation establishing state ownership. The administration has identified this administrative gap as a key vulnerability.

Obtaining official titles for these protected zones is intended to secure legal ownership and enhance the state's ability to protect national parks from encroachment and irregular occupation.
