Plant in Haiti
WHY PLANT TREES IN HAITI?
EXTREME DEFORESTATION
Haiti has lost about 98% of its original forests. This is especially alarming considering that in 1923, about 60% of the country was covered by forest.
Soil Erosion: Deforestation has led to severe soil erosion. Haiti suffers from one of the highest erosion rates in the world, which significantly affects its agriculture and food security.
Natural Disasters and Climate Change: The loss of trees has made Haiti much more vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. Without forest protection, the consequences of these events are much more devastating
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
Haiti faces serious pollution problems, including inadequate waste management and lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure. This leads to contamination of water sources and agricultural land.
Charcoal Use: Logging for charcoal production is one of the main causes of deforestation in Haiti. Charcoal is the main source of cooking fuel for the majority of the population, perpetuating a destructive cycle.

WHY IS YOUR SUPPORT IMPORTANT?
SOIL EROSION MITIGATION
Haiti suffers one of the highest rates of soil erosion in the world, exacerbated by deforestation. Reforestation helps stabilize the soil, preventing the loss of fertile land needed for agriculture.
REDUCTION OF VULNERABILITY TO NATURAL DISASTERS
Deforestation has left Haiti extremely vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. Trees act as natural barriers, reducing the impact of these events.
FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE
Trees play a crucial role in absorbing CO2, an important greenhouse gas. Reforestation in Haiti will help mitigate the effects of climate change.
IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Reforestation can improve air and water quality, directly benefiting the health of the local population.
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Reforestation can provide economic opportunities through sustainable forestry and ecotourism, contributing to Haiti’s economic development in a sustainable manner.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
For companies, supporting reforestation in Haiti is a way of demonstrating social and environmental responsibility, which can strengthen their image and relationships with consumers and the community.
