Article said:(Feb. 8) - Scientists said on Tuesday they had found a "Lost World" in an Indonesian mountain jungle, home to dozens of exotic new species of birds, butterflies, frogs and plants.
"It's as close to the Garden of Eden as you're going to find on Earth," said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the team of 11 U.S., Indonesian, and Australian scientists who made the discoveries during a monthlong expedition.
The team also found wildlife that were remarkably unafraid of humans during its survey, he said. The group visited the Foja Mountains, which have more than 2 million acres of old growth tropical forest located in eastern Indonesia's Papua province.

Clicking on the link also shows a slideshow of these newly discovered species. This is pretty interesting, considering you would think that by now the majority of the earth has been explored, but then again.. there is so much of the ocean that hasn't been explored yet.. not to mention remote parts of the world.
