The floods pictured killed 2,000 people in the area near the Dominican border. Without tree cover, the soil of Haiti’s mountain ranges (the country is 70 percent mountainous) simply cannot hold water — a disastrous situation in a tropical country, which faces heavy rains each year. Flash flooding has become all too common during the rainy season; the impact of tropical storms and hurricanes is magnified, sometimes horrifically, by the ravaged landscape. Tropical storm Jeanne, which hit in September of 2004, submerged much of the city of Gonaives in mud and debris, killed some 3,000 people, and displaced tens of thousands more. So long as Haiti’s deforestation goes unaddressed, such disasters are likely to be repeated.<\/p>\n<p>Credit: Daniel Morel\/Wozo Productions <\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>The storm’s toll<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":318,"height":209,"hwstring_small":"height='84' width='128'","file":"\/home\/wnetwp\/webroot\/wnet\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/2008\/08\/unfinished2.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"unfinished2-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/files\/\/home\/wnetwp\/webroot\/wnet\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/2008\/08\/unfinished2-150x150.jpg"},"full":{"file":"unfinished2.jpg","width":318,"height":209,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/files\/\/home\/wnetwp\/webroot\/wnet\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/2008\/08\/unfinished2.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":0,"credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":0,"copyright":"","focal_length":0,"iso":0,"shutter_speed":0,"title":""}},"post":2651,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/files\/\/home\/wnetwp\/webroot\/wnet\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/2\/files\/2008\/08\/unfinished2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2653"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"post","id":2651,"href":"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/wideangle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
