iciHaiti - Environment : Launch of a reforestation campaign in the Grand'Anse
17/06/2017 08:53:57

This Saturday, June 17, the Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) inform that as part of the celebration of the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought around the theme "Citizens, let's join our efforts to protect the Environment" commemorative activities will be carried out in the Department of Grand'Anse.

Pierre Simon Georges, the Minister of the Environment and Nathanaël Hishamunda, the FAO Representative in Haiti, will visit Grand'Anse for the launch of a reforestation campaign at the level of various communes of the Department, within the framework of the project "Action against desertification in the Grand'Anse", funded by the European Union.

Agroforestry seedling planting, anti-desertification awareness campaigns and a green march of schoolchildren, young scouts and local associations will also be organized.

The MDE, FAO and the European Union reiterate their commitments to combat desertification in Haiti, particularly after Hurricane Matthew, which further weakened the country's agroforestry system.
