…As SLDI furthers the execution of its mission of promoting and enabling sustainable land development worldwide, we continue to empower people throughout the world to achieve greater balance among the needs of people, planet and profit. One international community in dire need of attention is Haiti.
As a direct result of unsustainable land development practices, this mountainous country is now in a mountain of trouble. Once a powerful society rich in natural resources, Haiti is now the most deforested country on Earth. As a result, it has become the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and it continues to decline…

I am interested in the problem of developing a sustainable silvopasture program for Haiti. I have developed the best management system for this practice and have moved to Ecuador where I am in the prosess of establishing a small school for demonstrating the management system. To put it simply, I believe stongly enough in the systems to actually do it. I am buying farm here to set up the system.. However, I think that Haiti would also benefit tremendously with the management system. I would like to establish contact with you your organization since I am confident that you would be able to benefit from my system,but my big fear is the extent of dedication organizations have to solving development problems.
