The Issue at the Heart of This Platform
Dominica’s Airport vs. Its Rainforest
The government plans to quarry millions of tons of rock from Deux Branches — right beside the Northern Forest Reserve, its endemic wildlife, and Kalinago heritage lands. The airport is needed, but is there a better way to build it?
The Middle Road
Dominica needs this airport — for jobs, connectivity, and climate resilience. But millions of tons of basalt don't have to come from Deux Branches, right next to the Northern Forest Reserve. The same stone exists on the West Coast, where sea-based logistics can move it without cutting through protected watershed.
That's the middle road: build the runway, protect the rainforest, fund the difference through Green Bonds and Diaspora investment. Not a compromise — a better plan.
Dominicans at home and across the diaspora are already saying it. Hear their voices — and add yours.
