Land hunger has led to uncontrolled

Land hunger has led to uncontrolled deforestation, despite laws restricting
tree-felling since 1820s. Once heavily forested, Haiti has lost all but a tiny
fraction of tree cover in 1954 the proportion under forest was estimated
at only 8 per cent. The decline has continued since then due to the search
for land to cultivate and also for fuel requirements. Wood and charcoal
provide about 85 per cent of Haiti's energy needs. The deforestation, which
amounts to an irreversible ecological catastrophe, has worsened the drought
conditions over large parts of the country. The country's output of electric
power is now threatened as land erosion has led to the silting up of the rivers
supplying the Peligre and Saut Mathurine hydroelectric power plants

grondhonger het gelei tot onbeheerde ontbossing, ten spyte van wette wat
bome afkap sedert 1820. eens swaar beboste, het Haiti verloor, maar 'n klein
fraksie van boom dekking in 1954 die verhouding onder bos is beraam
op slegs 8 persent. die afname het voortgegaan sedertdien as gevolg van die search
vir die grond te bewerk en ook vir brandstof vereistes. hout en houtskool
.lewer sowat 85 persent van Haïti se energie behoeftes. die ontbossing, wat
neerkom op 'n onomkeerbare ekologiese katastrofe, vererger die droogte
toestande oor groot dele van die land. die land se uitvoer van elektriese krag
word nou bedreig word as grond-erosie het gelei tot die toeslik up van die riviere
