It will examine the current state of the environment in the Dominican Republic and its relationship and impact on other areas that are vital for the development of the country. <\/P> In addition, it will introduce environmental projects being undertaken by the public, private and non-governmental sectors; it will examine existing environmental protection legislation and its impact on sustainable development in the Dominican Republic. <\/P> \u201cApart from transmitting knowledge, the Dictionary aspires to promote respect, concern, reasonable usage and protection of the environment as well as to increase awareness of the dangers of contamination and overuse of natural resources. At the same time, it seeks to be a starting point for more and better action,\u201d explained Natasha Despotovic, the Executive Director of GFDD and Vice President of FUNGLODE. <\/P> \u201cThe experience of creating something with these characteristics, that serves not only as a reference for the environmental community but also for academics, universities, schools and the general public has been extremely enriching for all of us,\u201d said Ms. Despotovic. \u201cStudying the multiple forms of the earth\u2019s natural beauty and the phenomenon of its resources has awakened in us an overwhelming respect and love for the earth we live on.\u201d<\/P> Thematic Areas and Goals<\/STRONG><\/P> The Dictionary will focus on the following areas: flora, fauna, coastal zones, natural resources, biodiversity, coastal pollution, water systems and urbanization. <\/P> Goals<\/STRONG><\/P> <\/P> <\/P><\/TD><\/TR> FUNGLODE and GFDD Launch a Dominican Environmental DictionaryNew York, December 22, 2008 The Fundaci\u00f3n Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE) and the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD), through its Website Dominicanaonline.org, launched a new project that is without national or international precedent: the Dominican Environmental Dictionary. \/diccionariomedioambiente\/es … the fundamental idea of turning it … Continue reading “FUNGLODE and GFDD Launch a Dominican Environmental Dictionary”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-noticias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2650"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2650\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dominicanaonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
