Abstract

Haiti has been 97% deforested by Europeans and American businesses for profit. Britannica defines deforestation is defined as the clearing and removal of trees by humans. Deforestation ranks as the largest issue in global land use, historically for agriculture use, fuel, manufacturing, and construction. However, Haiti’s deforestation resulted in the lumber from the trees being exported and nothing being imported or built to replace the trees. Consequently, the ground in Haiti where the trees have been removed has lost its ability to sustain the impact of earthquakes and floods. As such, homes are destroyed and people are displaced following these natural disasters. The aim of Tree Angels for Haiti (TAFH) is to reforest Haiti by planting one tree at a time.
