Garden of Eden Found... in New Guinea

. Ring Tailed Tree Kangaroo

Scientists say they have discovered dozens of new and exotic species of birds, frogs and giant flowers in an Indonesian mountain jungle. "It's as close to the Garden of Eden as you're going to find on Earth," said Bruce Beehler, co-leader of the expedition to the Foja mountains in western New Guinea.

They explored it, and found new species, by landing their multiple helicopters in areas so remote even the natives don't go there. It must have looked like a Vietnam invasion to the little critters. The "explorers" were very amazed that the new animals were so fearless and trusting of the humans.

That alone is enough to tell you to "Get OUT!" Leave 'em alone!

I understand that the "explorers" from various "conservation societies" also had some really "rare" meat at dinner. Get it... (nudge, nudge) ... RARE?

Makes me sick. Helicopters, for heaven's sake! What were they thinking?
Civilization is anything BUT!

    Greg, when I read this in the paper yesterday, I said to mr. kenju "I wonder how many years it will take us to mess it up?"

    You are right, Judy, but I think the timeline has been accelerated. These people - nominal conservationists - are supposed to know better!
