In 1923, 60% of of Haiti was covered in trees; now only 2% of the country is forested.
Deforestation across the nation increased dramatically after Hurricane Hazel struck in 1954 and continues to this day. There has also been little concern for reforestation by the government. As a result, an estimated 15,000 acres of Haitian topsoil is washed away annually!
