National parks and their role in Dominican water security

National parks in the Dominican Republic are increasingly recognized for their critical role in ensuring the country's water security. While these protected areas are traditionally valued for their biodiversity, forests, and landscapes, they serve as essential infrastructure for maintaining the nation's water supply.

This perspective shifts the focus of conservation efforts toward the tangible, long-term necessity of preserving these ecosystems to safeguard the future of the Dominican Republic. By managing these natural resources, the state addresses a fundamental component of national stability and resource management.
