Earth Day ~ Deforestation

Some people say animals have the sixth sense, one above the five senses. They sense danger and warn us of earthquake or other natural disaster. Birds, insects and mammals migrate. Days before a tsunami, thousands of ants fled the beach into the forest, elephants screamed and ran to higher ground several days before.
