Scientist have discovered a sort of "Garden of Eden" or "Lost World"

Not THE Garden of Eden...but an untouched land (by humans) with hundreds of completley new species of animals. *Pictures below the article*

Heres a snippet from the article (more if you follow the link) and some pictures below

An astonishing mist-shrouded "lost world" of previously unknown and rare animals and plants high in the mountain rainforests of New Guinea has been uncovered by an international team of scientists.

Among the new species of birds, frogs, butterflies and palms discovered in the expedition through this pristine environment, untouched by man, was the spectacular Berlepsch's six-wired bird of paradise. The scientists are the first outsiders to see it. They could only reach the remote mountainous area by helicopter, which they described it as akin to finding a "Garden of Eden".

Fricken beautiful. I'm so amazed that there is still untouched land by humans but partly saddened that its been disturbed. Theres been one case where one of the scientist picked up one of the anteaters and the anteater didn't run...it allowed the scientist to pick him/her up. What that shows is that these species have had no contact with humans...

but this is amazing that such places still exist

The question is will the local government protect it now, as surely rich westerners will pay well to come and disturb
