Why would we want to replant Haiti's forest? The haitians would just cut it down again. No point in even bothering.
True, I don't think the Haitians are exactly environmentalists. They also seem to believe in having huge families, many kids when they can't feed and support them.
How long can Americans with our stable birth rates support a world of fast reproducing impoverished people? It's not just Haiti, it's much of Latin America, Mexico, much of Africa and Asia that expects us to solve their problems for them at least by allowing them all to come here for a high standard of living.
Replanting Haiti's forests is a vital step in rebuilding & most significantly in reducing the impact of hurricanes, massive flooding & mudslides. Legislation must be enacted to prevent cutting down the trees for fuel sources & educating the masses on why they should avoid cutting down the trees; for their own safety & the preservation of future generations. The following is a list of renewable fuel sources that Haitian engineers, agronomists, chemists and university scholars need to collaborate on to immediately implement.
Non-Renewable Fuel Sources Renewable
Crude Oil Solar
Natural Gas Wind
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Ethanol
Coal Biodiesel
Nuclear Energy Wood
Feedlot Waste
Landfill Gas
Municipal Solid Waste
Hydropower
Ocean Power
Geothermal
Hydrogen

Good luck with that given that the island is grotesquely overpopulated.
At some point, there is just no fixing an island nation with that many residents on limited natural resources.
WE have to rememeber that nothing can get done without the government and peoples cooperation and WE are not in charge there.
And the government that they duly elected back in GW's time on office was overthrown by us because GW wanted the one that didn't win to win. So a good place to start would be to respect the democratic process in sovereign nations.
Have the government lease out the land to agricultural corporations and have them plant coffee or whatever marketable crop they want. Then let them allocate a certain percentage to be used as forest. The haitians get jobs, the country gets a viable resource, money comes in and the land slowly gets back into some natural state. Even industrial hemp is an option.
The locals just burn whatever wood they find and that will not stop until the land is declared off limits and taken control of.
How much money would it take. Maybe what we would spend on a couple modern aircraft. Something needs to be done and quickly.
Why ? They'll just cut down all the trees like they did the first time and then think.."oh what did we do..again?"
They have billions in aid..where's that money gone to ?
Never has there been such a poor country with such corruption and the hand of the US playing a BIG part.
