The prophet sees the signs of the coming famine and judgment. Environmentalists have begun raising awareness to the destruction of the world's forests. Some of the statistics are staggering. In 1995, it was reported that one acre of Canadian forest was clear-cut every 12.9 seconds. In Brazil, 2.47 acres are cut per second and 150 acres are cut per minute. Only twenty percent of the world's ancient forests remain intact. In Brazil, 4.5 percent of the population owns 81 percent of its land, while seventy percent are landless. These facts illuminate a challenge frightening to contemplate and difficult to manage.
