Talk:Gonâve Island

Morne Lapierre
On Google Earth I see what appear to be immense trees planted in irregular rings around homes on Morne Lapierre, which are several times wider in diameter than many of the houses, and cast strong shadows suggesting great height. What are these? Wnt (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== Gonâve Island is located in west-northwest of Port-au-Prince Haiti in the Gulf of Gonâve. The indigenous Taínos called the island Guanabo. Gonâve Island is Made up of mostly limestone, the reef-fringed island of Gonâve is 60 km (37 mi) long and 15 km (9.3 mi) wide and covers an area of 743 km2 (287 sq mi). The island is mostly barren and hilly with the highest point reaching 778 m (2,552 ft). The island receives between 800 mm (31 in) to 1,600 mm (63 in) of rain a year, higher elevations representing the latter figure. During the colonial period, the island was uninhabited by colonists, which led the indigenous Taínos to seek refuge there after early battles with the Spanish. Runaway slaves in the French period, too, sometimes sought out the island for a place to hide from their owners on the mainland. Overgrazing and over-exploitation of water resources affect the island's current residents. In June 2019 A group of Gonâvian citizens formed an organization called "La Gonâve en avant" believe that the Gonâve is abandoned by the central State for too long and that the authorities concerned have never really worked to its development, therefore they claim their independence. ==
