New Forest & New Species, Mount Mabu, Possiblly The Last Undiscovered Land On Earth!!!!!!

[Bend_The_Knee]

Scientists have used Google Earth to find a previously unknown trove of biological diversity in Mozambique, reports the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.

Scouring satellite images via Google Earth for potential conservation sites at elevations of 1600 meters or more, Julian Bayliss a locally-based conservationist, in 2005 spotted a 7,000-hectare tract of forest on Mount Mabu. The scientifically unexplored forest had previously only been known to villagers. Subsequent expeditions in October and November this year turned up hundreds of species of plants and animals, including some that are new to science.

“The phenomenal diversity is just mind-boggling: seeing how things are adapted to little niches, to me this is the incredible thing," said Jonathan Timberlake, a Kew botanist who served as expedition leader. "Even today we cannot say we know all of the world’s key areas for biodiversity - there are still new ones to discover.

Ok, it's discovered. Now what happens to the villagers? Hopefully they don't lose their land they've called home for years, like the native americans did when the US was first discovered.....Thats right, i said that *!+*.
