Assignment task: when tropical storm Jeanne hit Haiti and the Dominican Republic in September, 2004 there was over 20 inches of rainfall in 24 hours more than a third of the rain that typically falls during an entire year. Forestry practices in these two tropical countries have been quite different with most of Haiti's forests having been removed by 1990 and the rapidly growing population becoming increasing dependent on subsistence farming in mountainous regions of the island. Tropical storm Jeanne created a national disaster for Haiti with over 3000 lives lost, but the Dominican Republic experienced very short-lived effects.
One possible approach to remediation the above scenario might be
a- community-based programs coupling forest restoration with economic development
b-increasing agricultural output of the country so that starvation is reduced
c- employing even aged forestry management practices
d- increasing education of the populous so that more urban technology can occur
e- sustainable harvesting of agricultural crops
