Haiti's Grande Colline: The Terra Incognita series examines remote, poorly known, and largely unexplored regions of Haiti to survey their biodiversity, in a country where almost no forests are left. In this first installment, a large and virtually unknown mountain range, the Chaîne de la Grande Colline, is revealed. A team made up of biologists, photographers, a film-maker, and a journalist, explore the Grande Colline in a helicopter expedition.
Haiti's Unnatural Floods: The nearly complete deforestation of Haiti has caused countless problems for the country, the people, and its biodiversity. One such problem is examined here: the effect on stream flow. It is shown that many floods and droughts in Haiti are caused by deforestation, because forests help retain rain water.
Cutting Haiti's Forests: The major environmental problem facing Haiti's biodiversity is explained, including footage of tree-cutting within a national park.
Saving Haiti's Frogs: Efforts are underway to save frogs and other species from a pending mass extinction being caused by deforestation.
