nadja77 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Listening to the radio today I got this bit of exciting news: Searching for mountains over 1500m using google earth, scientists were puzzled at a dark green spot on the Mozambican map. Upon investigation they found a virgin rain forest virtually untouched and undetected all these years due to the ongoing war. New reptile and butterfly species have already been discovered among others with new species of plants and animals found all the time! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews...arth.html62.stm[/url] Edited June 12, 2009 by nadja77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andreas Eils Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Strangely you don´t even find something about it browsing through the Telegraph online topics and using the search function!

Phil Green Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 That link doesn't seem to exist. But I found this one, from December '08 http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008...than-timberlake Seems it's an oldish story and the place was found a few years ago.

Thanks for pointing that out Phil, I should have done proper research and checked the dates before posting, I have a tendency to put my foot in it. Strangely it was news over here a few days ago. Sounds really interesting but I can't seem to get the link to work. I did find a few other articles about it on google albeit dated... hope these links work, sorry for the one that didn't! http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featu...mount-mabu/7747 http://www.mediaclubsouthafrica.com/index....&Itemid=116 Oh, btw: Where can I buy that pitcher plant shown as your avatar? biggrin.gifUnfortunately this Species only thrives in my avatar folder Nadja Edited June 14, 2009 by nadja77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably being ruined by man by now then, especially if there's anything valuable there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
