"Migración y sostenibilidad ambiental en la Hispaniola explora las dinámicas entre el ser humano y la naturaleza a partir de los estudios de caso de los parques nacionales Nalga de Maco, República Dominicana, y Pic Macaya, República de Haití. Ambos casos de estudio son abordados entendiendo las relaciones sociales, productivas y culturales que producen espacios protegidos en un entorno altamente antropizado que pone en riesgo su conservación para las futuras generaciones. El texto parte de información de campo en la cual se analiza la forma en que se construye un discurso sobre la degradación ambiental, situando a los habitantes rurales --y en especial a los migrantes- como un elemento que introduce nuevos significantes a los procesos de reestructuración de las zonas rurales que deben ser comprendidas más allá de una lógica binaria que contrapone Io humano a lo físico-natural, sino como parte de marcos más globales que se relacionan con el conocimiento, los mercados y los proyectos de desarrollo."--page 4 of cover

AbstractSharing the same island, the Dominican Republic and Haiti are confronting similar environmental challenges. Located on the path of tropical storms, Hispaniola Island is frequently exposed to natural disasters like heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides, aggravated by human‐induced environmental degradation. At the same time, the differences between the two nations are extreme. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and a well‐known case in environmental studies as nearly all of its forests have disappeared. In the Dominican Republic, a middle‐income country known for its beaches and tourist resorts, deforestation and soil erosion is also a problem, but to a much lower extent compared to its neighbour state. Above all, the rural economy in both countries is suffering from both sudden disasters and slow‐onset environmental degradation. Together with the lack or withdrawal of state support, the incentives for migration as an adaptation strategy are increasing in this panorama of environmental degradation and economic losses. On the basis of field research in selected regions of both countries, this paper analyses the impacts of environmental change on internal and international migration flows on Hispaniola Island.

I examine the effects democratization, institution building, and colonization have on the political and economic stability and inequality in the Caribbean; specifically, I argue that each of these variables contributes to the political and economic inequality experienced between the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the two states that comprise the island of Hispaniola. While Haiti and the Dominican Republic's colonization narratives differ, each state's response to democratization, and its efforts to rebuild and maintain institutions, is integral in understanding why political inequality currently exists on the island and differs between both states. Additionally, this paper finds that the legacy of colonization should be considered a major component of economic inequality between the two states. Ultimately, the success of democratization, the strength of institutions, and the ability to create and maintain a strong economic system explains why the Dominican Republic experiences less inequality than Haiti. These findings shed light on greater political and economic inequality trends and challenges found in the Caribbean region.

El presente trabajo ofrece las primeras cifras representativas del conocimiento de la fauna marina de la Isla Hispaniola con un total de 2,359 especies pertenecientes a unos 44 grupos taxonómicos mayores. Para República Dominicana se hallaron 1,955 especies lo cual adiciona cerca de 900 nuevos registros al último inventario de la biodiversidad marina. Para Haití, se hallaron 1,057 especies lo cual representa posiblemente el primer intento de resumir el conocimiento de su fauna marina. Las especies registradas son representativas de todos los ecosistemas y ambientes costeros y marinos -pelágicos y bentónicos- desde la costa hasta unos 3,000 m de profundidad. Comparativamente con otras islas de las Antillas Mayores, el conocimiento en número de especies de algunos grupos marinos puede considerarse avanzado en los peces o algunos grupos de invertebrados como corales escleractíneos, gorgonáceos, poliplacóforos o equinodemos; mientras que en otros grupos este conocimiento es pobre o incipiente. Los resultados del Proyecto HISPABIOTA constituyen un punto de partida para complementar y enriquecer los reportes y las Estrategias Nacionales de la Biodiversidad de República Dominicana y Haití y constituyen una guía para nuevas investigaciones taxonómicas, ecológicas y zoogeográficas que contribuyan -sobre bases científicas- a la conservación, manejo y uso racional de la rica biodiversidad marina de la Isla Hispaniola.
