Post by: DREDIOCK on February 07, 2006, 03:23:11 PM

JAKARTA, Indonesia - Describing it as the discovery of a “Lost World,” conservation groups and Indonesia on Tuesday said an expedition to one of Asia’s most isolated jungles had found several dozen new species of frogs, butterflies, flowers and birds.

“It’s as close to the Garden of Eden as you’re going to find on Earth,” Bruce Beehler, a Conservation International scientist who led the expedition, said in a statement

Give it about fifteen years. It'll be flattened, paved, and built on.

I read about it this morning.  All that and they just have two and a half miles of trail so far.  Imagine what else they will find as they delve deeper into the jungle and the rainy season ends.

Makes me wish I had made different career choices.  Would love to be there.
