How significant was the damage done to Haiti by the damages they were forced to pay for their rebellion?

The only thing I'd add to the discussions in previous threads is the issue of how this impacted deforestation. One user talked about redistribution of land via family lines but that's only part of the story. In order to pay off the debt, the Haitian government focused on exports to get cash. One of these exports was tropical hardwoods, which depleted the forests. But forests were also cut down to grow other cash crops like coffee, indigo, and sugar. Coffee estates were only good for about 20 years and then they needed to move the fields, which meant cutting down more forests. And by 1900, 95% of the revenues for the government came from coffee exports. Not only did this force Haiti to import most of its food, but it lead to serious deforestation and erosion issues.

Today, Haiti is still dealing with that problem (that's an image I took a few years ago). Of course other factors exacerbate the deforestation. Most of the country cooks with charcoal made from wood and many extremely poor women sell charcoal as their only way of earning money. Most of the well meaning attempts by foreign groups to plant saplings are ineffective because goats eat them. And until the country switches to non-wood fuels for cooking people will continue to cut down trees to survive. Wood also provides an important building material for everything from houses to chairs to decorative elements.
