Hope this hasn’t been posted already: An expedition to a remote section of Indonesia has found an area apparently previously unvisited by human beings. Link.
Cool!
Just make sure the windows are all closed when they bring back that caged specimen to the British Museum…
This news makes me glad and sad. Glad that this kind of place still exists, but sad because unless they make that a heavily protected area, it’ll only be a matter of time until humans rape and pillage it, undoubtedly driving some of those animals to extinction. 
Linky no worky for me.
I saw a few of the stupid pictures but nobody really described what those things taste like. How much for a guided hunt no amenity spared?
Not to mention hold a survivor there.
Meh, no dinosaurs.
Sorry – dunno what the problem is – it’s a link to a short piece on MSN – someone may be able to provide something more detailed.
Did they find Jimmy Hoffa?
I want Dodo birds damnit!
Interesting. The best thing that could have happened, sadly, was for it to have remained lost.
Apparently it was already a protected area.
That’s the key thing: if no roads, then no logging.
If there’s any sort of fund to pay the locals to not build any roads leading to this area, I’m ready to chip in some money each year from now until doomsday.
Where are the Sleestacks?
They found The Lost World, not The Land Of The Lost.
Past All Reason
If the area and the species in it had not been found by scientists, they would eventually have been found loggers, farmers, etc and the new species would have vanished without ever being recorded.
