Habitat/Species Protected Area of Cahouane (French: Aire Protégée Habitat/Especes de la Cahouane) is a mangrove management area located in Southwestern Haiti near the village of between Les Anglais and Tiburon. It was established in 2013. It is 59.4 square kilometres (22.9 sq mi) in size.

After Hurricane Allan in 1980, the lagune had been overused and the mangroves cut down, until the area was nearly destroyed in 2015. The lagune has been reforested, and the mangoves were successfully restored by 2020. Birds and aquatic organisms have returned.^[1][2]
