Answer:

Only 2% of the original forest remains, the Mango trees helped the economy and reforestation the Island.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poverty in Haiti is a big issue not only because of the low income or the food shortages they have, but because deforestation was increasing at alarming rates due to the citizens chopping down and burning trees to sell charcoal. almost 60% of Haiti was covered originally by Forest, and by 2012 only 2% of that forest remained, because of these, solutions have to be made and Frutal trees like Mango trees were a good alternative for the locals.

Mango trees can grow up to 30m in about 5 years and they'll start growing fruits in less than 4 years, This makes these types of trees not only good for solving the deforestation problems but good to slowly decrease the poverty rates by selling the fruits and bringing a new economy to the Island.
