Scientists Find New Species In Remote New Guinea

An anonymous reader writes "A team of scientists exploring an isolated jungle in one of Indonesia's most remote provinces said they discovered dozens of new species of frogs, butterflies and plants as well as large mammals hunted to near extinction elsewhere. The team also found wildlife that were remarkably unafraid of humans during their rapid assessment survey of the Foja Mountains, which has more than two million acres of old growth tropical forest."

Hopefully this might provide more public incentive in terms of supporting conservation efforts.

I think in the united states, conservatives have already done their share. Maybe we could get some liberalisation efforts?

When the giant cassowary evolves to the point where it is able to manufacture firearms I'll be scared. Until that time... shut the fuck up you aging liberal hippie douche.
