  Really cool. I hope they succeed in establishing native rights to the forest before the logging companies make them extinct again.

  I wouldn't be surprised if more such discoveries were found. Papua is, as best as I can describe it, insane.

    Indeed, it seems the interior of the country is so little-known and so unspoiled by modern civilisation, it would be surprising if we don't have any unexpected discoveries coming out of there in the nearish future.
