Nan pati wo Nòdwès la ki rele Senlui Dinò a, zafè koupe pyebwa ap fè ravaj.  Kontrèman ak kèk lòt kote nan depatman an, rejyon sa gen anpil pwoblèm nan zafè koupe pyebwa. Sa lakoz anpil espès ki bezwen lontray disparèt, kesyon ewozyon an ap fè ravaj, rele sa pa gen sòl ankò tèlman dlo fin bwote yo ale, anpil nan espès èt vivan nou genyen yo fin disparèt. Sa ki vin lakoz anpil inondasyon nan zòn ki anba yo.

Tout zòn nan te kouvri ak anpil pyebwa lontan, men konnye a yon bon pati ladan fin tounen dezè. Mete sou sa, salte ki nan sous dlo ki pa pwoteje yo se pi gwo malè pandye pou sante moun ki nan rejyon an.  Fason moun yo jere fatra mele ak jan moun yo konsome bagay ki soti nan peyi blan ki pa biyodegradab yo vin konplike pi plis pwoblèm moun yo genyen nan kesyon anviwònman.

Akoz prèske pa gen aktivite sansibilizasyon nan domèn anviwònman ki fèt nan rejyon an lakoz gwo pwoblèm. Paske moun yo jete fatra yo atè, nan larivyè yo oswa nan lanmè. Sa gen gwo konsekans sou domaj sou sik ekolojik la.

In the upper northwest area of Saint Louis du Nord, massive deforestation continues to take a heavy toll. Unlike other parts of the department, this region still suffers from severe tree loss, leading to the disappearance of shade-dependent species, widespread erosion, soil depletion, loss of biodiversity, and increased flooding downstream.

Once covered with scattered vegetation, the landscape has been rapidly transformed by deforestation. At the same time, pollution from unprotected water sources poses serious health risks to local residents. Poor waste management, combined with the growing consumption of imported, non-biodegradable products, has further intensified these environmental challenges.

A widespread lack of environmental awareness remains at the core of these issues, as waste is frequently discarded on land, in rivers, and in the ocean — worsening the cycle of ecological damage.

Pwofite potansyèl jèn yo esansyèl pou chanjman dirab ann Ayiti. Pwogram pilòt Klèb Vèt la nan Senlui Dinò pral kòmanse ak senk gwoup elèv epi yo pral elaji detanzantan. Klèb sa yo pral pèmèt jèn lidè yo jwenn konesans ak konpetans ki nesesè pou fè aksyonnan domèn anviwònman an. Atravè aprantisaj pratik, yo pral metrize pratik konsèvasyon dirab epi kòmanse travay sou restorasyon ekolojik nan rejyon Senlui Dinò.

Harnessing the power of youth is key for lasting change in Haiti. The Saint Louis du Nord Green Club Pilot Program will start with five student groups and grow over time. These clubs will empower young leaders with the knowledge and skills to lead environmental action. Through hands-on learning, they will master sustainable conservation practices and begin to drive ecological restoration in the Saint Louis du Nord region.
