로스하이티세스 국립공원
Covering an area stretching 1,600 km² (618 square miles), Los Haitises National Park is one of the crown jewels of the Dominican Republic’s national park system. Los Haitises–which translates into “hilly land” in the Taino language–attracts numerous visitors who come here by boat to see its magnificent series of 30-meter (98-foot) high rock formations jutting out of the water. The park also boasts extensive mangroves along its bay, which is dotted with cays that are home to multiple bird colonies, as well as a series of caves known for having one of the highest numbers of petroglyphs and pictographs in the country.
You’ll easily spot the endangered Ridgway’s Hawk, the Hispaniolan Piculet, the Hispaniolan Woodpecker, the Hispaniolan Emerald, as well as pelicans, frigate birds, herons, and many more majestic birds in flight over the park’s extensive landscape. Los Haitises also nurtures one of the DR’s few remaining rainforests, once used as a filming location for the feature film Jurassic Park. Explore the park by boat from Sabana de la mar or Samana, hike its rainforest to view flora up close, or kayak along its lush mangrove system where most of the time you will see Dolphins and Manatees.

맹그로브 재조림 프로젝트
1998년 허리케인 조지로 인해 많은 맹그로브 지역이 파괴되었으며 자체적으로는 복구가 불가능해졌습니다. Los Haitises 국립공원에는 여러 개의 개방된 장소가 있으며 이러한 장소에는 다시 숲을 조성해야 합니다. 맹그로브는 생태계에 매우 중요합니다. 이는 해안선 생태계를 안정화하고 매년 발생하는 허리케인과 같은 극심한 기상 현상이 발생하는 동안 침식을 방지하고 폭풍 해일 영향을 흡수하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 맹그로브 숲은 또한 새, 어류, 무척추 동물, 포유류 및 식물과 같은 다양한 야생 동물에게 서식지와 피난처를 제공합니다. 자연을 돕기 위해 우리와 함께 하세요.
