Haiti

Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, Haiti is a captivating country boasting a vibrant culture, rich history, and a resilient spirit. It’s also a country grappling with severe challenges, including the highest rates of deforestation and extreme poverty in the world.

 

Pressures including population density, natural disasters, demand for fuelwood and a lack of sustainable practices have contributed to significant forest loss across the nation – something, we’re trying to reverse.
