Text of excerpt, if available
It is not an act of G-d, it is an act of humankind. It highlights the urgent need for the world to be less cavalier in how we treat the environment. It is a warning, perhaps from G-d, that destroying habitat and degrading the landscape not only damages the earth but damages people as well.
