What is the main source of domestic energy used in Haiti, contributing significantly to deforestation ?
83% of players answered correctly.
THE CORRECT ANSWER: Charcoal
In Haiti, a vast majority of the population still depends on charcoal for cooking daily meals. This high demand puts constant pressure on remaining forest resources. The massive cutting of trees to produce this fuel prevents the natural regeneration of forests and accelerates the process of mountain denudation.Although alternatives like liquefied petroleum gas are encouraged, cost and accessibility make charcoal the primary driver of deforestation in the country. This practice degrades essential ecosystems while increasing the vulnerability of populations to climatic hazards.
