For this year’s observance of International Environment Day the United Nations is focusing on the plight of forests worldwide. In Haiti, there remains less than one percent tree cover. Most deforestation is caused by the local population’s need for land to farm, wood to build with, and charcoal to cook with. The result has left immense tracks of land bare to the elements, hastened massive soil erosion and increased land slides and flash flooding. View of a deforested hilltop near Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
A member of the peasant association from a community in the Harerge Province, east of Addis Ababa, guards the land against vandals. With the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Government of Ethiopia has launched a massive reafforestation to counteract serious soil erosion and degradation, declining agricultural production and widespread famine. The programme is specifically designed to study the adaptability of various tree species to the country's diverse bioclimatic zones and eventually lead to a better integration of agriculture and forestry.

Headline Development of Forest Resources in Nicaragua 
Caption Description Because of uncontrolled exploitation since the 19th century, the pine forests of the Northeast had become seriously depleted. As a result, since 1959 the Government has implemented a reforestation and fire control programme in the area. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as executing agency, has been assisting in all phases of this project, with a view to carrying out technical and economic studies for eventual large-scale investment in the region.
