OUR COMMON HOME IS LOSING ITS BEAUTY

OUR COMMON HOME IS LOSING ITS BEAUTY

Mountains are sponges that absorb the water that the planet needs. They conserve the water required for the subsistence of living beings. In the southern region there is a circuit of mountains between the Sierra de Bahoruco and the Sierra de Neyba. In these Sierras, there is a dense population of endemic flora and fauna.
