Deforestation of Haiti

The photo below is a satellite image of the island that has both countries Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Haiti has deforested 98% of all timber in their country. Haiti uses the timber for coal for energy use. It is the worst case of deforestation in the world. The border between Haiti and the DR is clearly visible indicated by the areas of vegetation on the DR side of the border. The government in the Dominican Republic has regulated deforestation for decades. The DR uses propane as its major fuel source. You can see how much of a difference government intervention makes when dealing with environmental issues. How can Haiti meet the energy needs of an impoverished country and still deal with environmental issues?
