Résumé
Who is really responsible for deforestation in Haiti? Too often reduced to charcoal production alone, the issue conceals a far more complex reality. This article deconstructs the dominant narrative and exposes its flawed foundations.
The authors point out that the root causes of deforestation lie in the colonial legacy, inadequate agricultural policies, and the lack of investment in sustainable alternatives. The article highlights the failure of many poorly designed reforestation projects and calls for a more integrated approach—one that values local forest management practices and addresses the needs of rural communities.
