00:00Grupo Universal Induban, Ministerio de Agricultura presenta
00:30Televidentes de lo Bueno
00:35Good morning, dear Televidentes de lo Bueno friends.
00:39It is a privilege to be part of this new edition of the program
00:43to address issues that affect us collectively
00:47with the intention of informing us about the protagonists of the national issue
00:53and, of course, to respond to the call for action
00:57in favor of the best interests of our nation.
01:01As every week, I have the honor of sharing this panel
01:05with my co-host, the journalist, my friend Elias Ruiz Martuk
01:12whom I welcome with very important information.
01:17That's right.
01:18Good morning, good morning.
01:20Good morning, dear Televidentes. What is the news?
01:25One day like today, in the year 1455, Johannes Gutenberg
01:31printed the first Bible in his print.
01:35Imagine how many pages have been printed since that important date.
01:41That is an important historical fact
01:45because it turns out that, thanks to Gutenberg,
01:48the communication in the world evolved.
01:52That is, as a result of the discovery of the print by Gutenberg,
01:58the media emerged, especially, and also the first book,
02:04which was precisely the Bible,
02:06but that propelled the reading and studies in the world.
02:11Very interesting, very interesting.
02:13That is, the way to print the books faster.
02:17A very important historical fact.
02:19Very important, very important.
02:21And we have the day that, well, the president of Guyana arrived.
02:24Yes.
02:25It was a success, I understand, the trip.
02:27Yes.
02:28It was short, but it seems very intense.
02:30Precise. In the case that concerns us,
02:33President Luis Avinader traveled to Guyana on Monday,
02:37at one o'clock in the afternoon, after leading the weekly press conference.
02:43And then, there, after being received by his counterpart,
02:48there in Guyana, a Dominican commission with a commission from Guyana
02:53met and discussed the issue of what had already been discussed
02:59and formed that agreement between the Dominican Republic and Guyana
03:05for later, later, but almost,
03:10what has to do with oil in Guyana.
03:13And, precisely, President Luis Avinader talked about that.
03:17He talked about electric energy,
03:19about the economic aspect of the Dominican Republic,
03:23which is ready, precisely, to be able to do
03:28what is expected with oil in Guyana.
03:31There is something that has to do with wheat sowing.
03:34Well, it has to do with commodities,
03:38with the issue of what has to do with the lands of Guyana as well,
03:42to be then used in the Dominican Republic.
03:45Apparently, we were going to sow it,
03:47but it seems that they are going to do it,
03:49and we will buy.
03:51We also have news from the Central Bank
03:53that says that the national financial sector is stable against external factors.
03:57Totally.
03:58Very good news.
03:59All that information has to do with some rumors
04:05about the rise of the dollar.
04:07The dollar is at 62 pesos,
04:10but it turns out that the robustness of the financial system
04:15in the Dominican Republic was ratified
04:18by the Central Bank, by the Monetary Board,
04:20and by Hector Valdez Albizu himself,
04:23governor of the Central Bank.
04:24About that dollar rate,
04:26I believe that the national budget was made on the basis of a 65.
04:29That's right.
04:30But I hope we don't get there, because it's a lot.
04:32Yes.
04:33And nothing, tell me what happens.
04:35What happens,
04:36has a lot of information to share with all of you.
04:38Let's see what happens.
04:44The management of the Barry Gold mine,
04:47with respect to the claims of the community
04:50that plans to re-settle
04:53for the installation of the new tail dam in El Naranjo,
04:57highlights the image of a sustainable mining company
05:01that has flourished in its years in the country.
05:04Especially if we take into account
05:07that after that modern industrial concept,
05:10it promises to guarantee the well-being and security
05:14of the communities close to the mining operation.
05:19However, the conflicts between Barry Gold
05:22and several community groups
05:25have escalated exponentially,
05:28reflecting the inability of dialogue between the parties,
05:32taking into account that the inhabitants of the communities
05:36claim that they have been pressured
05:40to accept conditions for the purchase of their land
05:44and to sow crops that are not favorable to them.
05:48And that leaving where they have lived for several generations
05:53should be done with dignity and without ignoring their rights.
05:58It is striking that not even the mediation of the Catholic Church
06:04is contributing to the understanding
06:08between the company and the community in conflict.
06:12When the only guarantee of possible success
06:16is to listen, analyze, give in and commit to the greater good,
06:24an exercise that applies to both parties at stake.
06:28Mining is necessary and very profitable.
06:32Therefore, the relationship of a company
06:36of this magnitude with the communities,
06:40with the province where it settles and with the country,
06:45must be grounded in a win-win dynamic,
06:50in which the profit and prosperity of the communities
06:55are palpable and quantifiable,
06:59without leaving room for injustice, discontent or malaise.
07:05Changing in practice the concept of
07:08Affected by Beneficiaries.
07:14Editorial
07:19Thank you for staying with us here in Lo Bueno
07:22with Alexandra Izquierdo.
07:24Fifty years ago,
07:26Ted Kiel and Frank Rainier
07:29encouraged the workers of Punta Cana.
07:33Listen to me, to cultivate bees.
07:37How? To create bees.
07:39And for what?
07:40Well, precisely to create honey
07:45generated in those monasteries
07:47for extra income for the workers.
07:51And the workers did that?
07:53And you know what?
07:55They have produced up to 2,000 gallons of honey
08:00of bees in Punta Cana.
08:02Are you hearing that, Ms. Alexandra?
08:04Yes, I'm listening.
08:05That's right, Teddy, that's right.
08:07But the interest has not been only with the bees.
08:10The commitment of the Punta Cana group
08:13includes being pioneers in the management
08:16of sustainable solid waste,
08:19the care of marine fauna and neighboring ecosystems,
08:24all thanks to the incessant activity
08:27of the Punta Cana Group Foundation,
08:30which has led them to be recognized
08:33as world leaders in sustainable tourism.
08:37So we are very happy to welcome Jake Kiel,
08:42Vice President of the Punta Cana Group Foundation.
08:47Welcome, Jake, to the good.
08:49Thank you very much.
08:50Thank you for being here.
08:51Thank you for being with us.
08:52Excellent, thank you very much for the invitation.
08:54Well, the pleasure is ours.
08:57Well, as has already been said, the surnames Kiel and Rainieri
09:00are linked to the development of this spectacular space
09:04that Punta Cana comprises.
09:07The concern for sustainability
09:11arose from the very beginning
09:14as the area grew more complicated.
09:19That is, it arose from the beginning
09:21to work on sustainability
09:23or as they grew.
09:26Well, I think that sustainability,
09:29when Don Frank and Don Ted started,
09:32didn't really exist as a term, as a philosophy.
09:36That was invented much later, in the 90s.
09:41But they already had it in mind
09:44in their way of acting,
09:45in their way of developing and creating Punta Cana tourism.
09:49And basically the idea was
09:51how we live with the local communities,
09:54how we create optimal conditions for those communities,
09:58and also how we protect those natural resources
10:01that will attract tourists in the future.
10:05So that was something very organic that came out.
10:09And I can say that Don Frank
10:12always had a very strong concern for his country,
10:17for the Dominicans and how they were going to live.
10:21And Ted came from another environment.
10:25He came from the United States
10:27and he was really more concerned
10:29about human rights,
10:31about the division that existed in society.
10:37And then he came to the issue of environmental protection.
10:41And it was formed as a natural marriage.
10:44And when the idea of sustainable development
10:47began to develop in the 90s,
10:49the two already had it and understood it
10:52and wanted to integrate it
10:54in the way of developing the Punta Cana group project.
10:57Definitely, the Punta Cana project
10:59is a project that Frank Reinieri himself
11:02has recounted, even here in this same program,
11:06that, listen to me, they were virgin lands.
11:09That Joaquin Balaguer himself,
11:11then president of the time, told Frank Reinieri,
11:14look, are you sure what you want to do?
11:17In other words, to say it to a Dominican,
11:20mount and ass.
11:21And he said, friend Reinieri,
11:23why have you come so far?
11:25One day he visited him.
11:27So the question is the following.
11:30Being that virgin land,
11:33there was a tourist development little by little.
11:37Has the environmental aspect been taken into account
11:40in the development of that tourist project?
11:45What have you done to be able to develop
11:48tourism and protect the environment?
11:51Well, the first thing to say is that
11:53in terms of sustainability, environmental protection,
11:56there is always more work to do.
11:58We can always improve and we can continue to improve.
12:02In the case of Punta Cana,
12:03it has been treated from the beginning
12:05to have that as part of the DNA,
12:08that the local community,
12:11human development and the environment
12:14in all the decisions of the company.
12:16And it is a dynamic company that is growing,
12:19that has many new aspects.
12:21But the idea is that in each decision,
12:23it is contemplated.
12:25And sometimes the environment is not the main decision.
12:29Sometimes you have to make decisions
12:31that create friction with environmental protection.
12:34But it really is part of the decision-making
12:37and the strategy as a corporation.
12:39And that is very different from many companies.
12:42The question comes from the fact that
12:44in Punta Cana there is a lot of natural wealth.
12:46We are talking about birds, bees, corals,
12:49turtles and eyes of water.
12:52For the people, for the television friends,
12:55to say that it is an eye of water,
12:57it is a water that comes out precisely from the subterranean
13:00and we call it that here in the Dominican Republic.
13:03I don't know if in another country we do it.
13:05That is, all that must be protected.
13:09And it really is the attraction that attracts tourists.
13:13It is what makes it attractive to live in Punta Cana.
13:16People want to be close to nature.
13:19And if we damage it, we are damaging our main asset.
13:24And the main asset is also the beach.
13:27But before getting into the subject directly,
13:30I want to tell you that in December
13:33he was with us and we felt very happy.
13:36Aida Sainieri was on the show
13:39and she left us motivated to learn
13:42about the innovations in coral restoration
13:46that the Punta Cana Foundation is developing.
13:50When she talked about that, I said,
13:52what are you talking about?
13:54I myself was very surprised, I did not know it.
13:57Tell us how it is done,
13:59if new methodologies have been applied,
14:01how it has advanced over time.
14:03That is extremely interesting.
14:05First of all, coral reefs are highly endangered.
14:11They are very threatened by different factors.
14:14Climate change, sea temperature,
14:18which is changing, increasing,
14:20human factors, pollution, overfishing, etc.
14:24So, in the Caribbean in general,
14:27there has been a degradation of coral reefs.
14:30Twenty years ago, when I started at the Punta Cana Foundation,
14:35the trend was simply to monitor the corals
14:39and see how to mitigate the impacts that we could control.
14:44It was simply not to touch the reefs
14:47and try to limit the impact.
14:49At that time, a new trend began,
14:53which is to try to proactively restore the reefs.
14:58That means cultivating corals and trying to plant them
15:02and that the services and ecosystems of the reefs are recovered.
15:08Trying to have a greater diversity of fish,
15:11of organisms, of corals, and recover them.
15:14But instead of just stopping touching it
15:17and waiting for it to recover on its own,
15:19try to work on this proactively.
15:21How is the coral cultivation achieved?
15:26What is done in the sea?
15:28How is it done on land?
15:30It has been a learning experience for 20 years
15:33and we have advanced a lot.
15:35So, from the moment you got here, you started with this topic.
15:38Yes, and it was really Mr. Gernier and Mr. Frank in particular
15:42who became interested.
15:44He received a presentation on how to create
15:47submarine viveros in the sea.
15:50At that time, there were one or two species
15:53in danger of coral extinction.
15:55So, you could collect small fragments,
15:58put them in submarine viveros,
16:00and in a certain amount of time they would grow
16:02and those fragments could then be planted in the reef.
16:05So, the viveros were structures of different artificial materials
16:10and they were put in optimal conditions
16:12and those coral fragments were returned to the reef.
16:15After they grow, they are taken back to the reef.
16:20The intention was really to protect those one or two coral species
16:24that were in danger.
16:26That was the intention.
16:28And fishing was part of what hurt them.
16:31Correct, yes.
16:32Because fish have an important role.
16:35They keep the reefs clean.
16:38They remove algae and other things that grow
16:41that can compete with corals.
16:43So, it is an important relationship
16:46between the organisms that live in the reef
16:48and the corals themselves.
16:50We are almost at the end of our break.
16:52I want to conclude with the topic of corals.
16:54Later, you will start making those viveros on land.
16:58We already have a laboratory on land
17:02where we can try to reproduce different coral species
17:07using new methodologies
17:10and do it in a way that is much closer to a factory,
17:13to a manufacture,
17:15that when we do the reproduction in the sea,
17:18we have to go out in a boat,
17:20we have to dive,
17:22we have to do all the manual work.
17:24When we move those viveros to land,
17:27it gives us an efficiency gain.
17:29It allows us to use new technologies,
17:32to have control over the conditions of the corals,
17:35and to try to do experiments
17:37so that the corals can survive
17:40some conditions that are more difficult.
17:43Speaking of the human impact,
17:45I imagine that this has to do with tourism.
17:48Do tourists understand about this work?
17:52Have they integrated or do they just go and enjoy their beach?
17:56I would say that 20 years ago,
17:58the tourist who came only came to the beach.
18:01He came because he wanted to enjoy his holidays,
18:04to enter the beach,
18:06maybe to do an excursion.
18:08Today, the tourist is much more educated,
18:11he has much more knowledge about ecosystems,
18:17and especially the youth,
18:19they know the coral reefs,
18:21they have seen all the documentaries,
18:23they know the issues that face the oceans,
18:25and they come with a different concern
18:28than 20 years ago.
18:30So there is already an interest,
18:32how can I help,
18:34what can I do to minimize my impact,
18:36and what things can I do proactively
18:38to help the destination that I am visiting.
18:40So you are sustainable tourists.
18:42Tourists go on tours,
18:44to see, for example,
18:46that laboratory that you mention now.
18:48Yes, we have a guided tour
18:50that is carried out,
18:52which is to know the different projects
18:54of the Foundation,
18:56it is called the Echo Journey Eyes,
18:58where programs of protection and conservation
19:00of endangered species are known,
19:02the project of apiculture,
19:04conservation of other species,
19:06and a general knowledge
19:08of what we do in coastal and marine protection.
19:10So different activities have also been developed
19:12for tourists,
19:14for volunteers,
19:16for local people
19:18who can visit or participate
19:20in programs of coral restoration.
19:22Well, I want to participate.
19:24Excuse me, excuse me,
19:26let's go to a commercial break.
19:32Our YouTube channel,
19:34subscribe and activate the bell
19:36to receive notifications.
19:40We are back in the good.
19:42Thank you for staying with us
19:44while we talk to Jake Hill,
19:46vice president of the
19:48Punta Cana Group Foundation.
19:50But before we continue, Jake,
19:52if you allow me,
19:54we are going to offer you
19:56a cup of Santo Domingo coffee
19:58that our friends from
20:00Vanillejas Industries send us.
20:02Santo Domingo coffee,
20:04I'm going to ask you something.
20:06What is the first thing you know about all this?
20:08The egg or the chicken?
20:10Cheers!
20:12It's the Santo Domingo coffee, the first thing.
20:14I imagine you have already
20:16drunk a lot of Santo Domingo coffee
20:18in Punta Cana. Of course.
20:20In those investigation projects.
20:22Of course.
20:24In 2023, you published
20:26an essay entitled
20:28Fideicomiso Sargasso.
20:30Based on
20:32the constant influx of
20:34Sargasso algae since
20:362011,
20:38increasing each year
20:40until it becomes an environmental
20:42economic and social crisis.
20:44As a
20:46connoisseur of the subject,
20:48do you understand that
20:50there is a solution or
20:52will the crisis
20:54of Sargasso worsen?
20:56Well, the Sargasso,
20:58the massive arrival of
21:00Sargasso to our Dominican Republic
21:02and to the Caribbean and
21:04Mexico and some parts
21:06of the United States, is the result
21:08of the way we are treating
21:10our oceans. There is a
21:12mistreatment of the ocean with
21:14contamination,
21:16adding nutrients,
21:18adding plastic
21:20contamination and other
21:22types of contamination.
21:24And so we have an increase
21:26of those algae
21:28that are arriving to the region.
21:30And we, until now,
21:32what has been achieved, basically,
21:34is to manage it,
21:36try to minimize the impact
21:38that it has on tourism and the nearby communities,
21:40but it has not begun
21:42to value it and take advantage of it
21:44and create a solution
21:46with a business model that allows us
21:48not only to protect the coast,
21:50but to collect the material,
21:52transform it.
21:54In the sea.
21:56Ideally, yes.
21:58Because when it arrives to the beach,
22:00it begins to degrade.
22:02The impact of the quality
22:04of the water begins,
22:06the color of the water changes,
22:08the smell that it produces,
22:10the experience of the client.
22:12The client does not come to the beach
22:14to have to climb a Sargasso hill
22:16to get to the water.
22:18So we are clear that we have to mitigate it
22:20and try not to reach the coast.
22:22And as we protect the coast
22:24with floating barriers,
22:26if necessary.
22:28Yes, those are floating barriers,
22:30which is a way
22:32to prevent it from reaching the coast.
22:34That is our first strategy
22:36in the case of Grupo Pontacano.
22:38And what do you do
22:40with the Sargasso?
22:42What is the most important project
22:44in those terms?
22:46Well, now the government of the Dominican Republic
22:48has invested a lot of money
22:50in universities,
22:52looking to promote
22:54the development of new uses
22:56of the Sargasso
22:58to transform it into biogas,
23:00for example, for electricity,
23:02into fertilizers
23:04and biostimulants for agriculture.
23:06Transforming it,
23:08even in other countries,
23:10they are already working to transform it
23:12into cosmetics,
23:14bioplastics, leather,
23:16made of biomass material.
23:18The use of Sargasso
23:20or any type of biomass
23:22is possible and feasible.
23:24Where we have not reached
23:26is where it is economically viable,
23:28because it has such a high cost
23:30to collect it,
23:32to transport it,
23:34and to do the logistics of transporting it
23:36to a factory or a plant
23:38where they are going to transform it,
23:40that we have to try to reach a logic
23:42where all of this
23:44is in an integral program.
23:46That is why we proposed the idea
23:48of a commission, a fund,
23:50or a public-private association
23:52where these costs
23:54are to be shared
23:56between the industry and the government
23:58and really generate something
24:00that is a long-term solution.
24:02It has been something
24:04that is really quite harmful
24:06for the purpose of tourism, etc.
24:08And nothing has been able to be done
24:10in the origin of where they come from.
24:12Something that you say,
24:14well, we are going to,
24:16above all, because we are not the only
24:18affected, the Dominican Republic,
24:20nor Punta Cana alone,
24:22because the entire coast
24:24has been reaching Sargasso,
24:26the Caribbean coast.
24:28Hasn't something been done
24:30that you say, well,
24:32we are going to do it in the origin
24:34to see how we can
24:36withstand that leak?
24:38The quantities of Sargasso
24:40that are arriving are so massive
24:42that the effort and the investment
24:44is so massive as well.
24:46So, we have to have a logic
24:48of who is going to pay for it,
24:50how is it going to be done,
24:52what is the technical and operational
24:54feasibility of carrying out
24:56this type of mitigation.
24:58It is complex.
25:00If we look at the parallel example
25:02of plastics, and there is a lot of investment
25:04and a lot of effort to mitigate
25:06and limit the amount of plastic
25:08that reaches the sea
25:10and collect it when it reaches the sea
25:12What is happening?
25:14And the impact has been limited
25:16because it keeps coming and coming.
25:18The same happens with Sargasso.
25:20So, there is no perspective
25:22that there will be improvement
25:24with Sargasso in the next few years?
25:26The trends that we have seen
25:28is that the total amount
25:30of Sargasso
25:32formed in our region,
25:34in the Caribbean, in the Atlantic,
25:36and that reaches us every year,
25:38increases, increases.
25:40So, it is very unlikely
25:42that it will disappear.
25:44But yes, it can be improved
25:46and optimized
25:48is our reaction.
25:50We want to talk about many things with you
25:52because you handle many issues
25:54and many projects.
25:56But there, I said something
25:58when the program started,
26:00in the introduction,
26:02tell me something about the Solid Waste.
26:04In other words,
26:06fantastic work has been done
26:08to support other places.
26:10What can be said quickly
26:12about the Solid Waste?
26:14And also, I want to know
26:16what is your opinion
26:18about Law 255.20
26:20that brought the Fideicomiso,
26:22I think you just mentioned it,
26:24the Fideicomiso that has to do
26:26with the Solid Waste.
26:28I know that you are passionate about this.
26:30Tell me something I can do.
26:32Well, first of all,
26:34it is important to put in context
26:36that it is garbage.
26:38I say garbage because Solid Waste
26:40is very fine,
26:42but it is not Solid Waste
26:44until we classify it and value it.
26:46So far,
26:48most of it is garbage.
26:50And then we get some profit.
26:52But the Dominican Republic
26:54is in an enviable position
26:56throughout the region
26:58in terms of its Waste Law,
27:00which is a very advanced
27:02and innovative law.
27:04Many countries in the Caribbean
27:06need
27:08a similar
27:10type of law.
27:12So we have been positioned
27:14to be able to create business
27:16with garbage.
27:18And that is the first step.
27:20You know that you have to get there.
27:22You can have business
27:24with garbage.
27:26Education, consistency,
27:28all of that is very important
27:30as part of the environment
27:32of garbage management.
27:34But the reality is that
27:36if we do not have a use
27:38and do not have value in the market,
27:40it is very difficult to transform
27:42garbage into a business.
27:44So the law supports that.
27:46And it is being seen
27:48in many parts of the country
27:50where correct sanitary fillings
27:52are being created,
27:54not open-air dumps.
27:56Sanitary fillings are being created.
27:58There are value-adding centers
28:00and programs to enter
28:02kitchens to limit the production
28:04of organic waste.
28:06That is a program that we have managed in Punta Cana.
28:08There are all kinds of initiatives.
28:10First, to lower the cost
28:12of transportation and logistics
28:14of garbage, but also
28:16to transform it into something of value.
28:18I think I heard you say
28:20that you weigh in the kitchen
28:22what you buy
28:24and what you throw away.
28:26Correct.
28:28What you throw away,
28:30what comes from the restaurant, etc.
28:32That is very interesting.
28:34Garbage, 50% to 60%
28:36is organic waste.
28:38Food waste,
28:40powder,
28:42green area waste.
28:44It is a very large mass.
28:46So if we can enter
28:48the kitchens and transform
28:50an organic waste problem
28:52into a cost issue,
28:54the way we think is already transformed.
28:56In the case of this technology
28:58that we use in Punta Cana kitchens,
29:00there are several technologies.
29:02We use one called Winnow.
29:04Basically, it is a scale
29:06and it weighs each step
29:08of the food production process.
29:10It weighs what comes
29:12from garbage, post-consumption,
29:14what the restaurant
29:16or the person did not consume.
29:18It is measured, and that gives us
29:20the trend of where we are
29:22losing, where there is waste.
29:24And that can enter
29:26the food that arrives damaged,
29:28which was not calculated before.
29:30That can be in the way of preparing the food.
29:32In the kitchen
29:34of an employee of Grupo Punta Cana,
29:36we serve 2,000 dishes a day.
29:38So if you are cutting
29:40the vegetables in an inefficient way,
29:42you are wasting,
29:44that is already creating
29:46an amount of waste
29:48and also cost.
29:50So we, in a kitchen,
29:52managed to eliminate
29:54almost $2,000 a week
29:56from the largest kitchen
29:58in organic waste.
30:00It was also seen, for example,
30:02a pound of cooked rice
30:04was being served
30:06per employee in that kitchen.
30:082,000 pounds!
30:10So that was a day.
30:12And what did not arrive post-consumption
30:14of garbage was rice.
30:16It was being consumed.
30:18They were cooking more
30:20than they should.
30:22So that is only the issue of saving
30:24in the kitchen, but also
30:26if we quantify the calculation
30:28of the logistics of garbage,
30:30transport, sanitary waste,
30:32all the costs that are coming.
30:34There is a sanitary waste, yes.
30:36And the use of these
30:38wastes only as fuel?
30:40So now we have
30:42gone for a technology,
30:44let's say simpler,
30:46that requires
30:48less volume.
30:50So the energy waste
30:52technology requires
30:54large volumes,
30:56that is, hundreds of thousands
30:58of tons, and there you can
31:00transform economically in energy.
31:02We have gone to compost
31:04at an industrial level.
31:06We have a plant that can
31:08process 5 to 10 tons
31:10a day of waste.
31:12So those are wastes that become
31:14soil
31:16that we sell instead of
31:18paying a transporter to bring
31:20sanitary waste and have all the associated costs.
31:22We have time on top.
31:24It ends up being
31:26something that is not thrown away, but is sold.
31:28We have time on top.
31:30There is a documentary that you are
31:32the author of, Death by a Thousand Cuts.
31:34You are an environmentalist.
31:36What is this
31:38documentary about?
31:40And finally, there are two questions.
31:42The other is, does it have to do,
31:44for example, with this awareness
31:46that you were talking about,
31:48do the entrepreneurs
31:50have the same vision that you have,
31:52the tourist entrepreneurs
31:54in the Punta Cana area,
31:56have they integrated into that level
31:58of sustainability, or do they see it
32:00as something like that?
32:02I think there is a great tendency
32:04towards sustainability.
32:06It is being pushed on both sides,
32:08both the awareness of the same owners
32:10and their children, in many cases,
32:12who already work or are leaders
32:14of the company, who already have
32:16that environmental awareness
32:18and sustainability impregnated.
32:20That is what your book is about,
32:22the book Awakening the Sleeping Giant.
32:24Correct.
32:26And the documentary?
32:28The documentary, basically,
32:30I see the movies, and especially
32:32the documentaries, as another tool
32:34to explore different environmental issues
32:36and also see the way
32:38to look for solutions.
32:40That was my first documentary
32:42about illegal charcoal trafficking
32:44from the Dominican Republic
32:46to Haiti.
32:48Ok.
32:50We are working on a new project
32:52on coral reefs, but the idea
32:54is to raise awareness, but also
32:56to give the complexity of these issues
32:58and try to connect with people
33:00so that they are concerned.
33:02Do you no longer think like you did
33:04when you arrived, that you were going
33:06to work with the enemy?
33:08I understand that the private sector,
33:10when I arrived,
33:12new, young,
33:14thinking that the private sector
33:16and the companies were the problem.
33:18And today,
33:20I have evolved a lot,
33:22and that is due to the teachings
33:24of Mr. Frank Ranieri, that
33:26companies have a very important role
33:28and have the power to make
33:30an important change in environmental
33:32and social practices.
33:34Well, we are very happy about this interview,
33:36although I told you
33:38that we wanted to know more,
33:40to talk about the Gavilan,
33:42to talk about the Spanish Gavilan.
33:44How many do you have?
33:46Right now we are in the breeding season,
33:4830 couples, we understand
33:50about 150-170 individuals,
33:52only in Punta Cata.
33:54And how many did you start with?
33:56With three.
33:58Imagine, well, tremendous good work.
34:00The commercial exercise, accompanied by
34:02environmental commitments, is definitely
34:04the most positive formula
34:06of development.
34:08With this conclusion, we leave you.
34:10Thank you for coming
34:12to say goodbye
34:14to our guest today,
34:16Jake Hill, Vice President
34:18of the Punta Cata Group Foundation.
34:20Thank you for joining us.
34:24You, friends, televidentes,
34:26don't go, there is still more good.
34:34What is the most important time
34:36to know about insurance?
34:38With Laura Peña Izquierdo.
34:40Peña Izquierdo,
34:42Insurance Corridors,
34:44presents.
34:46Good morning, friends,
34:48and welcome
34:50to another section of
34:52Lo Seguro.
34:54Today we are going to talk about
34:56a topic that our insurers
34:58always ask us,
35:00which is the difference
35:02between a guarantee and insurance.
35:04Number one,
35:06insurance is a guarantee,
35:08not an insurance.
35:10Insurance includes two actors,
35:12the insurance company
35:14and the insured or client.
35:16In the case of insurance,
35:18three actors intervene,
35:20which are the client,
35:22the beneficiary,
35:24and the insurance company.
35:26Insurance could also be provided
35:28by a bank or financial institution.
35:30Today we are going to talk about
35:32the cases of insurances provided
35:34by insurance companies.
35:36What are some types of insurances?
35:38We have advance insurances,
35:40compliance insurances,
35:42hidden vices insurances,
35:44and supply maintenance insurances
35:46that are used in licensing
35:48to ensure that the quotation
35:50that you are presenting
35:52will not present changes.
35:54These are recently very required
35:56insurances since licensing
35:58is becoming more and more important
36:00in our country.
36:02It is also important to clarify
36:04that insurances are used
36:06in cases where, for example,
36:08a service is going to be made,
36:10a project is going to be made,
36:12or a construction is going to be made.
36:14They are required by the owner of the project
36:16because he is giving money
36:18to the people or companies
36:20that are going to do the work,
36:22and it is a way of guaranteeing
36:24that they are going to fulfill
36:26and will be until a next delivery.
36:56This is what I call the good thing
36:58about Alexandra Izquierdo.
37:00Look for us, subscribe,
37:02and ring the bell of Mrs. Alexandra Izquierdo.
37:04Ring and subscribe.
37:06That's right, Elías.
37:08We say goodbye
37:10very grateful
37:12for all the support received
37:14to carry out this program
37:16every week.
37:18We wait for you on our social networks
37:20and, as always,
37:22we count on the interaction
37:24of all of you.
37:26A big hug and see you next time.
37:28God bless you.
