<br/><br/> "When Victor Wynne came to Haiti, there was still plenty of shade. In 1925, the young civil engineer found a nation that was lush, rugged and untamed. Haiti had 60 percent of its original forest cover. The mountains were thick with trees, and rivers ran strong and clear. Wynn--a soft-spoken man with the large hands of a builder and degrees from Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology--set out with other American engineers to rebuild a country that had seen 102 civil wars, coups and political upheavals in a century of independence from France....There, on 30 acres he called Wynne Farm, he built a botanical garden and experimented with agricultural techniques such as terracing." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article describes how most of Haiti, including Wynne Farm, is being destroyed because "as trees disappear and good farmland shrinks, tracts valued only for their habitats are getting harder to defend."
