Cuba faces severe environmental degradation amid pollution and deforestation

Cuba is experiencing worsening pollution, deforestation, and waste accumulation in cities, with impacts on health and ecosystems.

Reports indicate that Cuba is grappling with a severe environmental crisis marked by pollution from mining and industrial activity, extensive deforestation driven by energy shortages, and overwhelmed waste management systems. Cities such as Havana and Santiago de Cuba are seeing garbage pile up in residential areas, hospitals, and schools due to inadequate collection services. In mining regions like Moa, metallic dust from nickel and cobalt operations has led to air quality concerns and accusations of prolonged environmental damage. Deforestation has accelerated as households cut trees for fuel during power outages, increasing vulnerability to droughts and floods. Environmental organizations warn that without urgent interventions, Cuba risks deepening ecological decline that could mirror Haiti's environmental trajectory.
