When
Christopher
Columbus arrived
in Haiti it was
98% forested
Today’s total
forest cover is
3.8%

The French
colonists
cleared the
mahogany
trees from the
forest for
profit The rural
farmers have
used charcoal
for cooking

It is said that
Haitians do not
cut down trees
that provide
food but
desperation
makes for bad
decisions

But there are people hard at work
planting trees for the future.

Nurseries are
being established

seedlings prosper from careful
nurture

Many
projects
are well
advanced
and trees
are thriving

Without trees the
land dries up, the
farmers leave the
land for cities
without jobs or a
place to live.
Without
trees there
is more
poverty
more
disease and
more death

Trees are Haiti’s
hope for a healthy
sustaining future
