After three days of talks between the 3 nations the environmentalists, technicians and Environment minister will commit themselves to establish the “Caribbean Biological Corridor” which is outlines a geographic space which will facilitate relations between human beings and nature.  It will also provide the connectivity between landscapes, ecosystems, habitats and culture.  It also contributes to the economic development of surrounding communities.

Supported by the United Nations this particular geographical corridor is 1,600 kilometers and is different from other corridors in that it will not limit itself to inter connecting protected areas, it will instead include natural areas in general.

To be included are the Dominican Jarague-Bahoruco-Enriquilo biosphere reserve and the Central Mountain Range to go all the way to the Haitian border to include in Haiti the areas of Masiff de la Selle, Azuei Lake, Fore et Pins, La Visite and the Massif Norde Central.  Continuing with Cuba’s areas they are to be the Sierra Maestra Mountain Range, Baracoa, Nipe and Sague.

The region has a total of 61 protected areas broken down with 46 belonging to Cuba, 11 to the Dominican Republic and 4 to Haiti.
