Charcoal

Further Explanation:

In recent times, Haiti has faced a massive environmental problem and that has occurred due to charcoal deforestation. People from Haiti rely too much on the Charcoal as it is their major source of energy. It is estimated that around 60% of the Haiti’s energy production comes from Charcoal and that is the reason that about half of the forests from Haiti have been lost because of this because people from Haiti burn down trees from the forests to get Charcoal.  

Fuel-wood and charcoal constitute nearly 80% of the total primary source of energy in Haiti and Haiti has been long considered as an archetypal case of wood driven deforestation. Official forest reports of Haiti state that the tree cover of Haiti is under extreme stress and there is very little forest remaining. Demand of charcoal grew in Haiti in 20th century and initially charcoal was produced from the dry forests and arboreal fallows from around the city.
