The article argues that the management of Haiti's national parks needs structural reform and that isolated interventions or projects cannot solve it. It proposes a General Directorate of National Parks (DGPN) under an Interministerial Management Committee (CIG) to strengthen coordination between institutions, security and conservation of the sites.
It also proposes a decentralized technical directorate (DTD) in each park, in charge of daily management including heritage conservation, environmental protection, security, tourist reception and administration. The author presents this as a coherent response aligned with the country's international commitments and as the base of a public policy for heritage.
