Santo Domingo.- The Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Orlando Jorge Mera, reported yesterday that this week those involved in the removal of sand from Las Dunas de Baní, located in the province of Peravia, will be brought to justice.

After several complaints published by Listín Diario that warned about the illegal extraction of the material in that natural reserve, the official appointed a technical commission of The Environment.

In its edition yesterday, Listín Diario editorialized asking for the identification of the people involved in the illegal extraction of Las Duna’s sand to end that ecological crime.

“And while we await the public identification of these predators, our hope is that, after an exemplary sanction, the authority will not again allow Las Dunas to be devoured by the excessive desire for profit of the sand merchants involved,” says the editorial position of this media.

Jorge Mera reacted to the editorial note of the Listín Diario in the Altar of the Homeland while laying a wreath in honor of Juan Pablo Duarte on the 209th anniversary of his birth.
