Toxic wastes left by American Troops in Haiti, 1995.

The Haitian Collective for the Protection of Environment and Alternative Development (COHPEDA), founded in 1993, is an umbrella organization that works closely with peasant groups and popular organizations all over the country. Their main national campaign over the past two years has focused on the return to the United States of toxic wastes dumped in Haiti. Sustainable agriculture, critique of existing environmental laws, erosion, and deforestation are other issues on COHPEDA’s agenda.
