Haiti : Why cut down a Mango tree to make Charcoal?
Mwen pa konprann lojik saa... Pou yon moun ap koupe yon pye mango pou fè chabon...
Yon sak chabon vann yon fwa sèlman, yon panie mango vann pou 200 goud, e yon pye mango ka bay plizyè panye mango chak ane.
So... Kisa ki pouse yon moun pou-w koupe mango saa ki ap pwodwi epi fè chabon ak li?
You can sell a bag of charcoal only once, a basket of mango sells for 200 Haitian gourdes, and a mango tree can produce many baskets each and every year
So what pushes a person to cut down to productive tree and turn it to charcoal?
What do you think about this?
