Following the Ciguapa explores the environmental and human consequences of development in the Dominican Republic through interconnected case studies on mining, energy, pollution, biodiversity, tourism, waste, and climate. Blending environmental history, investigative storytelling, and public policy analysis, the book reveals how the pursuit of economic growth has transformed the island’s landscapes while often imposing hidden costs on its ecosystems, public health, and communities. While rooted in the Dominican experience, the book speaks to a universal challenge facing societies around the world: how to pursue development without sacrificing the people, places, and ecosystems upon which their future depends.
