My husband says that up above Perodin where he grew up, they didn't cut the
entire trees either -- just the branches.  And that area isn't as bare as many
others either.  He also says he remembers when cutting trees was regulated
(under Duvalier) and you could not cut a tree until you had successfully
planted some to replace it.
