Haiti - Climate Change - Waiting ro be carried across river after bridge destroyed

A young girl waits for a porter to help her cross the River Perdo in Savane Dubois in southeast Haiti. Hurricane Gustav destroyed the bridge here so people now have to struggle across it and it is too deep for vehicles to pass. During the hurricane season of 2008 Haiti was subjected to four destructive hurricanes in the space of twenty days. This increasing severity and quantity of hurricanes is one of the effects of climate change, which scientists have been predicting. Haiti is extremely vulnerable to these hurricanes due to the uncontrolled deforestation of its mountains for the production of charcoal. (Photo by Gideon Mendel/Corbis via Getty Images)
