New Species Found in Papua Eden

An international team of scientists says it has found a “lost world” in the Indonesian
jungle that is the home to dozens of new animals and plant species. “It’s as close to the Garden of Eden as
you’re going to find on Earth,” said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the group.

The group of Indonesian, American and Australian researchers trekked through an area in the mist -
shrouded Foja Mountains of north-western Papua. After being dropped off by helicopter, the researchers
spent nearly a month in the area, detailing the wildlife and plant life from the lower hills to near the
summit of the Foja range, which reaches more than 2,000m in elevation.
The team found four new species of butterflies, twenty new species of frogs, and a whole series of
remarkable plants including five new palms and a giant rhododendron flower. The survey also found a
honeyeater bird that was previously unknown to science and the first new bird species discovered on the
island of New Guinea since 1939.They also found the breeding grounds of a “lost” bird of paradise. The
six-wired bird of paradise was first seen in the late 19 th century but hadn’t been found again since. The
team also took the first photographs of the golden fronted bowerbird displaying its plunge. The team also
recorded a golden mantled tree kangaroo, which was not known to be in this area and is near extinction in
other areas. “It’s beautiful, untouched, unpopulated forest, there is no evidence of human impact or
presence” said Dr. Beehler,
