Haiti: Between Contrasting Geography and Natural Wealth

On January 1, 1804, Haïti became free after a fierce struggle against colonization and slavery. Located in the Caribbean region, it occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. With an area of 27,750 km², it is bordered to the north by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south and west by the Caribbean Sea and to the east by a land border of 376 kilometers with its eastern neighbor. This geographical location, rich in contrasts, shapes not only its identity, but also the economic and environmental challenges that the country must face.
