Provoked By a Manuscript

I did a PhD thesis proofreading in the first two weeks in January. The subject area is forestry in Nigeria. From the historical analysis of how forestry became a thing in Nigeria, it struck me how passive the earth has been in our pillaging of it. From fruits above the ground to those deep below:
  • Humans sold off as slaves
  • Timbers and other "valuable" trees
  • Crops
  • Minerals
  • Precious metals
  • Crude oil
 I find it all interesting. 
How is the earth going to fight back? We probably will end up being roasted by the sun (morbid thought, I know).
Well, because I could not stop thinking about how Africa is the world's farm (I do not thank you, Adolf Hitler), I did an infographic of the thoughts I had because of this thesis on MSWord Smart art but I can't seem to be able to upload it.
I will try later.

UPDATE: I got it right. A screenshot, a crop, and here we are!

Resource control and exploitation flow chart
My opinion of the centuries of self-seeking the world has been about as it relates to resources located in Africa.
