Punta Cana, a jewel of the Dominican Republic, is not only a paradise for beach lovers but also a sanctuary for diverse ecosystems. Our commitment to ecological preservation is evident in the thriving flora and fauna that call this place home.
At the heart of Punta Cana is the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve. This 1,500-acre reserve is a haven for over 500 species of plants, 36% of which are endemic to the Dominican Republic. Named after the Taino Indians, the original inhabitants of the island, the park features 12 freshwater lagoons and serves as a living classroom for environmental education.
A Model for the Future Punta Cana is leading the way in sustainable tourism. The initiatives include reducing marine and land-based pollution, cutting material consumption, and minimizing waste from tourism activities. These efforts align with the global movement towards environmentally conscious travel and the preservation of natural beauty.
While Punta Cana faces environmental challenges, such as water supply and sanitation issues, we view these as opportunities to innovate and improve. The recent focus on clean, sustainable, and renewable energy in the region underscores our dedication to a greener future.
