Cave art in Dominican caves faces mining threat
Ancient Taino and Igneri drawings in Pomier Caves, Puerto Escondido region, Dominican Republic, dated up to 2000 years old, are endangered by limestone quarrying near protected zones. Officials study safeguards as blasts hinder entrances, damage murals, and block access. Local archaeologists warn the site rivals Egypt’s pyramids in cultural importance, urging coexistence of mining and preservation.
