Limbé River Victim of Deforestation

Limbé, a town known for a healthy agricultural industry, is part of a dangerous trend, caused by vanishing tree cover. Large areas of barren ground suffer soil erosion when the rains come; and Limbé River's flow has slowed as a result.

Without Limbé River to help irrigate crops, more crops are failing, affecting the economy of Limbe's 32,200 residents.

Limbé still contains more tree cover than most of Haiti, but how long before more deforestation occurs?
