Grand Bois National Park

Grand Bois National Park contains a rainforest on an isolated mountain rising to 1,262 meters, with 207 hectares of forest above 1,000 meters elevation.

The national park received official designation on September 23, 2015, through a declaration by Haitian president Michel Martelly to protect the remaining primary rainforest.

Local residents near the park maintain traditional connections to the land through plant cultivation, seed collection, and the preservation of medicinal plant knowledge.

Haiti National Trust coordinates reforestation programs that involve local communities in planting 60,000 native trees, palms, and shrubs throughout the park annually.

Scientists rediscovered the Tiburon stream frog within the park boundaries, a species previously considered extinct, along with three newly identified frog species.
