Haiti

2 %

Shockingly only 2% of Haiti's forests remain

42 out of the 50 largest mountains have lost their entire primary forests

 The UN estimates that the remaining forest is being destroyed at a rate
​of 30% a year.
Deforestation Haiti
Like Madagascar, entire mangrove estuaries in Haiti have been destroyed, leaving the earth to simply wash away into the sea. 
As well as stabilising the soil and creating a barrier between the land and the ocean, Mangroves have an amazing symbiotic relationship with nearby reefs.
They improve the quality of the water, providing a natural habitat for fish and other sea creatures, without which the coral would not survive.
​Forests of Mangroves are one of the world's principal stores of "blue carbon"
​a term given to carbon accumulated in coastal or marine ecosystems.
And impressively, they can store up to four times as much carbon as land based forests.
Sadly in Haiti a majortiy of the landscape has now become a desert,
​the trees are gone.


The effects of years of ecological devastation have already been seen with disastrous consequences. From flooding and soil erosion to crop failure and water table depletion, to name but a few.
Deforestation in Haiti

Our incredible reforestation partner in Haiti uses employment to empower struggling local communities.
​They lift people out of extreme poverty through re-education in farming practices and providing employment to plant, grow and guard the trees.

Planting in Haiti is challenging, but Eden Reforestation Projects have been successful. 
The trees are bringing nutrients back into the soil enabling farmers to grow food once more, replenishing water tables and combating climate change.

In Haiti there is a two pronged attack: focusing on inland agroforestry supporting the Haitians to grow their own sustainable food and restore their local environment, and Mangrove reforestation and restoration off the Southern coast of Cap Haitien.
