] Grand Bois National Park (French: Parc National Naturel de Grand Bois) is a national park in Haiti that was established on September 23, 2015 by Haitian president, Michel Martelly.[1] The park is located in southwest Haiti, northwest of Les Anglais in the Sud department. Morne Grand Bois is an isolated bowl-shaped mountain with remnant original (primary) rainforest. Its highest peak is 1262 meters in elevation. [2]The founders of the Haiti National Trust identified Morne Grand Bois as one of the landmarks of biodiversity in Haiti because it has a unique ecosystem of plant and animal species, which led to its establishment as a national park. On Grand Bois, they rediscovered a frog species that was believed to be extinct, the Tiburon stream frog (Eleutherodactylus semipalmatus). A rare Magnolia tree species, Magnolia ekmanii, which has not been seen since Ekman's exploration, was also found. [2] These and other plants and animals on Grand Bois are threatened because of ongoing deforestation, which also alters the water flow of streams and springs, affecting habitat for aquatic species and drinking water for people.
