Grown in Haiti, Inc.
Restoring ecosystems & empowering communities through reforestation.
HAITI NATIONAL TRUST INC
We identify biodiversity hotspots in need of protection, create national parks, and work closely with local communities and the government to manage those land and marine areas. As environmental stewards, we work towards ending deforestation and using a diversity of native trees for reforestation. We involve local communities in all activities, enhancing their livelihoods and education, and increasing their sustainability. Our work helps Haiti to mitigate the effects of climate change by simultaneously locking up carbon in trees and roots and creating a wetter and cooler environment. The improved watershed also results in fewer droughts and floods, and provides Haitians with more drinking water.
HAITI OCEAN CONSERVANCY INC
The Haiti Ocean Conservancy (formerly Amiga Island Ecological Foundation) is a Haitian based non-profit focused on conservation, education, and restoration. We work to actively restore local reefs and protect endangered species in order to improve livelihoods and preserve wild places in Haiti.
HAITI OCEAN PROJECT INC
The primary mission of Haiti Ocean Project is the conservation and protection of high-profile marine life such as marine mammals, sea turtles, sharks and stingrays through education of youth, research and data collection, community awareness, public policy and ecotourism. HOP is also a leading actor in advocacy between Haiti and the world, to influence communities, fishermen, youth, policies, structures and systems in order to bring about change in the way marine species are viewed in Haiti and persuading all stakeholders to act in more just and equitable ways toward them. At the core, it is about building relationships. It is about tackling the root causes of poverty which endangers the marine species and promoting their protection in Haiti.
