Haiti's environment minister surveys clogged ravines in Jalousie/Désermite

Haiti's Minister of the Environment, Valéry Fils-Aimé, conducted a field visit to Jalousie/Désermite to personally assess the severe environmental degradation affecting the area. The visit focused on the critical state of local ravines, which are now heavily obstructed by construction debris and solid waste.

During his tour, Minister Fils-Aimé observed the extent of the pollution, which poses significant risks to the local ecosystem and potentially to public health. The accumulation of waste in the ravines indicates a pressing need for immediate intervention and waste management solutions.

The minister's presence underscores the government's attention to the environmental challenges facing the community. The assessment is a preliminary step toward developing strategies to clear the ravines and implement measures to prevent future environmental damage. This initiative aims to restore the natural state of the affected areas and improve living conditions for residents.
