Ministry of Environment announces reopening of Valle Nuevo

The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Environment announced the reopening of Valle Nuevo National Park this Friday. The decision follows the successful containment of a forest fire that had impacted the protected area for several days, leading to its temporary closure.

The park is now accessible to the public again following the conclusion of firefighting efforts. Authorities confirmed the reopening after determining that the blaze had been brought under control, allowing for the restoration of normal park operations.
