![The island of Hispaniola has been subject to heavy deforestation during the 20th century. This phenomenon has affected both nations that occupy the island, however it has reached its most critical level in the Republic of Haiti. The problem has become so acute that Haitian forest cover is only 2% compared to 40% in the Dominican Republic. This contrast is clearly seen in the Haitian-Dominican border, such that astronauts can identify the political border between these two countries just by observing where the forest cover ends abruptly. The Republic of Haiti is on the left and the Dominican Republic is on the right.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/La_deforestaci%C3%B3n_en_la_frontera_dom%C3%ADnico-haitiana.tif/lossy-page1-800px-La_deforestaci%C3%B3n_en_la_frontera_dom%C3%ADnico-haitiana.tif.jpg)
