Special police patrol stand guard before the arrival by helicopter of Haiti’s Minister of Tourism in Madame Bernard, the main town of Ile-a-Vache island, off Haiti’s south coast, March 26, 2014. For decades the mostly dirt-poor residents of the small island of Ile-a-Vache off Haiti’s south coast lived in anonymity, until last year when the government claimed the 20-square-mile former pirate lair as a “public utility,” potentially stripping the 14,000 residents of their land to develop a high-end tourist resort.
