Beautiful post @nury. I totally agree with you. Wiping out the rainforests, and any forests for that matter, takes a toll on the land, and ultimately the people who try to make a life on these overdeveloped lands.

The recent summer fires in California produced fires that killed and destroyed people, plants, and animals, followed by rains that produced mudslides that killed and destroyed the same.

It's clear the earth has its share of forests for a reason. Destroying them is reaping havoc beyond what the eye can see when greedy developers go in with machines to destroy them for building and populating with humans.

It was very insightful to learn that forest fires are a natural part of deforestation. A lightening strike that sparks a fire, serves as an 'out with the old, in with the new' life-cycle process.

I realize God provided trees for many purposes. This includes building structures and making goods, i.e. paper, etc. But, when the forests are destroyed for reasons that go beyond the purposes for which they are intended, negative results eventually happen.

Again, thanks for this post! And, for all who fight to save the forests and rainforests around the world, praise God for you!

Peace.
