UNKNOWN SPECIES Discovered in the AMAZON.......1 every 3 days!!
NAGOYA, Japan (AFP) – Spectacular species previously unknown to the outside world are being discovered in the Amazon rainforest at a rate of one every three days, environment group WWF said in a report published Tuesday.

An anaconda as long as a limousine, a giant catfish that eats monkeys, a blue fanged spider and poisoned dart frogs are among the 1,220 animals and plants to have been found from 1999 to 2009, according to the study.

Logging and clearing for agriculture uses such as cattle farming and palm oil plantations have led to 17 percent of the Amazon -- an area twice the size of Spain -- being destroyed over the past 50 years, according to the WWF.


wtf

UNREAL!!

This is an incredibly sad situation.

Almost all cures are found in the Amazon....and they estimate that something like 40% of the plant life has not been discovered yet!

When they find a "new species", is it because they found just one unusual creature? Or is it because they've found a family of them?

Maybe these critters really are new. There's a shift in realities going on right now, you know.

What I'm wondering is why hasn't the destruction of the rainforest been stopped? There's more that want it saved, than want it destroyed soooooo why is it still being destroyed?

WHO is letting the destruction continue?

This is a suprise?

There are VAST amounts of the ocean that no human has ever laid eyes on. The last estimate that I heard is that there are probably 10 million species on the planet, and we have identified 2 million. There is a TON of new lifeforms to discover on our very own planet.

If they were only finding "1" of something that would really be tragic since that species could be lost forever if the one thing died.

Good thing we're tearing that Amazon shit down. We'd never be able to keep up with cataloging all that new stuff!

NO! But there are still ALOT of people that are unaware that this is going on.

Most people are clueless as to what they are finding in the rainforsest and really don't care if it's destroyed or not. They have better things to do than worry about some jungle that's way over there in some other country.

I don't want to see the oceans destroyed either. It's unreal what they do to the waters everywhere. That also needs to be stopped. To accept excuses like "oh we need to drill for oil to have gas for your cars, and electricity, blah, blah, blah" is now a cop-out. We KNOW there are better alternatives for energy. We do not have to continue to destroy the pristeen oceans and sealife to power our homes or autos!

So, the more people who are aware, the more word gets around. And hopefully the destruction can be stopped!

True.

Can't wait to see how much they find in the rainforest!

Ever heard of Chanca Piedra?
