25513: Beckett asks about Ministry of Environment (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Greg Beckett <beckett@uchicago.edu>

Can anyone give me some background on the Ministry of the Environment in Haiti? 
When was it created, how does it fit among other ministries. Also, who has 
historically managed/administered national forests and lakes? I have heard a 
lot about how, in the past (do they still?) people required licenses to cut 
trees. Who issued those, and where did the money go?

Thanks,
Greg
