Studies on Environment, Agriculture & Patrimony

Environmental preservation is a universal problem now acutely felt in Haiti. The Environment and Patrimony Laboratory’s mission is to study the structural causes responsible for the environmental crisis in Haiti. The laboratory looks to comprehend the modes of appropriation and organization of urban and rural space in Haiti, the contemporary relations between the social crisis and the acceleration of environmental degradation, the frameworks for managing biodiversity and environmental protection, the transformations in cultural practices in the rural environment, the evaluation of public policies, and external interventions in the area of environmental preservation. These studies are intended to support practical interventions, especially in the domains of alternative energy sources and forms of sustainable development, the management and prevention of natural disasters, education and the transformation of sociocultural behaviors.

L’objectif cardinal de l’étude a été d’identifier les ressources et les capacités locales sur lesquelles les communautés touchées en coordination avec les collectivités et le gouvernement central peuvent         capitaliser en vue de leur recouvrement équitable.
